Ruben --

Thanks for your input. Near as I can tell (which doesn't mean one hell of a lot) the 2200 is pretty much up to my communications task.

Thanks to your input, found this group of DSL Report sarticles on config'g. the AT&T-specific Westell 2100 / 2200 / 6100 modem series.

Didn't know that my 2200 contains a router. My 2200 feeds a separate router so there MAY be a conflict going on here that I was unaware of. Links from the above-linked page have a plethora of other things that I probably should check out, too.

FWIW, we're running on a 1500 / 256 DSL connection, which seems to exclude the need for ADSL2+ but since AT&T has purportedly gone that route, it's another facet that I need to delve into, again thanks to your response.

IF push comes to shove, I'll just have to ask Earthlink to send me another modem, or buy one on the open market and config it for E'link.
