I don't know about Genesis, but, I do know  the DSL I use needs PPPoE. If it dosen't support that your pretty well outa luck. But having said that, there is a bright spot. I am using a cheap Netgear router that acts like a DHCP server, it will also use static IP's. It's been working great for almost two years now.

Watch the DSL provider be sure to check speed; some " DSL " is nothing more than an ISDN line with the signaling channel bonded to the B Channels. A 144K pipe vs 1.5M or better for Real DSL.

P.S. you can keep your body to your self. My wife is already more than I can handle. ( Woo - Hoo! thanks GOD! )

Yep! I am also on a Netgear RP114. It works great and I haven't had to mess with it much at all.

It's kinda a bummer now that they have me working on T1's I had to surrender all my ISDN and DSL test equipment. It was nice working DSL except for the tearing into other peoples PC's to install parts. Some of those were VERY scarry! Ever had a pc full of roaches  YUK! :-P
