Is the Ethernet / USB connector with the flashing light connected to the back of the PC a modem. I ask because if I want to install a router then they are supplied with or without modem, but do say that on BB connections a modem must be installed.
Is this info correct ( I may be misinformed) and is BB not a digital transmission. In which case why is a modem required? What is the technical answer to these questions please.
