Can any old compuer run DSL/Cable? I have an ancient system right now and am a little concerned about my computers ability to compute all the data coming in at high speeds.

Pretty much anything faster than a 286 is still capable of being faster than Cable/DSL. If you're going to do the WAN Router setup, you will want an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) for your PC so it can talk to the router. Otherwise you'll prolly end up with a crappy USB NIC or worse yet a USB Cable modem. NIC are like $20 from Circuit City, or $5 if you know where to look online.
Are you coming to the meet tonight? We can talk shop about what you have and what you'll need to get in order to get online w/ Cable or DSL. I'm sure Dean and some of the other guys know what's up too and can help you figure it all out as well.
