Hi, Patti. No, they couldn't put in a DSL or cable modem, but they could provide some kind of port where you could connect a wireless adapter, or a PCI card slot or something. Oh, well. I'm less than thrilled with my Braille Lite but use it a lot, nonetheless. *smile* Take care.

I have one and miss that part of it, before I changed to Cable in ternet I used the braille lite fo email a lot. I am surprised they haven't put in a dsl or cable Modem, but perhaps they can't. Sorry for the bad news!
