The BIPAC711CE has both a USB connector and a (10/100Mbps?) Ethernet
connector. It comes with both a USB cable and a short (1-3m?) Ethernet
cable - I haven't even unwrapped the USB cable that came with mine. :)

Heh, well ArachNet seemed *very* insistent on me using a Billion modem
when I signed up. I don't think they'd do so without wanting to support
a large installed base of the devices - especially if they were dodgy.
:) I don't have any complaints about the bipac711ce besides the
constantly-blinking SYS LED... but I guess I'm used to it now. ;)
