The one ACS gave us only has the phone jack and one ethernet port, to connect 
to the computer running DSL.  No built in switch to make things easy.  :(

On the other hand, $50 at Fred's will get you a Linksys or Belkin DSL 
router/modem which will automate all this stuff too.  (And you might even be 
running Linux too!)
