The router I was looking at has a switch in it.  What I'm wondering is while I 
have dialup, would the switch work without having to activate the router?  I am 
planning on getting DSL within three months and was wondering if I should get 
the switch and then get the router or just get the router/switch combo.  The 
main question is would I be able to use the router/switch with a dialup for the 
time being?

Later,
Sean
