True, it usually has a small plug like the one found on a phone cable acting
as a jumper... you unplug that, plug a phone (or DSL modem, in this case)
in and dial away... if you are really paranoid, you can put a lock on the
the box so people can't hook in and make phone calls to East Elbonia
on your line....

Please use this knowledge for good, not evil. Thanks!
