I have an old Alcatel DSL modem but I am not sure it work if your 
account is set up for PPPoE,. which is the way BellSouth.net wants all 
new DSL accounts set up.

Some people have cajoled them into providing an Ethernet DSL modem but 
it is not easy.

Telocity/Direct resells the same BellSouth Corp raw DSL that 
BellSouth.net does and does come with an Ethernet modem, so you could 
switch to it.  It should be available in exeactly the same locations as 
BellSouth.net service.
