OK, this last is exactly what I was looking for.  Routers cannot talk to
regular modems - no way, no how.  Simple fact.

As I understand you, the only use for the wifi router in this case would
be to free the laptop from dependence on a fixed wire in this huge
network of 2.  Like I could lay in bed with my XP laptop upstairs and
talk to my eCS desktop downstairs.  Or for that matter, I could do such
work out on the deck or in the shop.  Or with the (a) router I could
have more than 2 computers.

Thanks
