"I am a conservative. Quite possibly I am on the losing side; often I think so. Yet, out of a curious perversity I had rather lose with Socrates, let us say, than win with Lenin."

Cable, DSL, and in the older days your Telephone are used as the mechanisms to "connect" your computer to the internet.
If you've ever sent a Fax, you typically hear all kinds of tones at the beginning of the transmission.
These are an example of the Modulation/Demodulation type signals that the two FAX machines use to transmit data.
Even though they mean nothing to you, the machines understand them. That is how they "talk" to each other when they send/receive your data.
The Modulator converts the computer data you are Sending into a form that is compatible with your hookup (typically Cable or DSL)
The Demodulator converts the computer data you are Reciving from your hookup (typically Cable or DSL) into a form that is compatible with your computer.

Okay, first things first. We need some basic info to assist you. My guess is you'll need to get equipment through your provider. Without meaning to be insulting, based off of your limited knowledge for this stuff, I also think it might be wise to have a trained tech do the install.
What company did she set internet/phone service up wirh? Since you're in Florissant as my best friend is & he has to have Skybeam, I'm guessing that's who you're with. Is this correct?
