I'm trying to do the same thing with a DLink DSL 302G. I hoped that having "DSL" in the name meant it would work just fine.

All the configuration stuff I have found so far just tells me to use Ethernet.

I'm sure it's possible.....just need to know how.

I found the following page usefull for the 'BT voyager 105 USB modem' but the same install principles apply:
