ADSL modem

An ADSL modem, also known as a DSL modem, is a device used to connect one or more computers to a phone line, in order to use an ADSL service. Some ADSL modems also manage the connection and sharing of the ADSL service with a group of machines, making an ADSL router or ADSL modem/router a more accurate name for the device.
