DSL to Router Help

I have no idea how Lani and I split along these lines.

If I have a superpower it is that I pretty much never literally get lost. I can read even crappy maps with precision, and if I've ever been somewhere I can almost always get there again (we had good ice cream in a small Oregon town when I was about 12 and I didn't visit that town again for almost 20 years and said "hey, let's see if that ice cream place is still there and went right to it).

So, since when we're both in the car I'm driving it isn't ever an issue.

Oddly, though, I never have any real sense of which direction is north (I mean, I can work it out from the sun if I need to but in terms of just a general sense of compass direction I lose it quickly).

Chernabog, I think phone companies offering DSL without landline is relatively new (when we had DSL we were also told that we couldn't do that but when we moved recently it was option they tried to sell us on but we've been without landline for three years now and won't be going back). Though last time I looked it was almost as much as having both the phone and landline anyway.

I'm the same way. I'm more of a relative directions kinda guy ("This side of the freeway, past that main street if you're heading towards the big sign"). And yeah, if I've been somewhere once, I can get there again.

And I'm the opposite, rather good at knowing where I'm facing on the compass, but useless with revisiting places until the 5th time driving there.
