Hello Ed!

 EV> Besides the USB device I also saw another device with a
 EV> CAT5 jack on it. That has me thinking about using that
 EV> device in the place where the old DSL modem was plugged in
 EV> the Linksys Router. Using that CAT5 device I could use
 EV> either the XP or Vista PC as I used to do.

If you are thinking of this solution..

ethernet-cable

.. I don't think it will work for your situation.  The adapters  
depicted in the article are usually designed to bring internet  
*to* the phone.  But in your case, you want to tap into the  
internet *from* the phone.


 EV> I WANT to get back to doing 'computing' as I used to do.

Wifi or BT receiver/transmitter at your pc is easier.
