That I can answer. Between my computer and my brother's computer, I
attach with ethernet, 10-baseT cableing. The hub I am using, that is
quiet, is the Kensington EtheRx Workgroup Hub KNE8TP/WG

Now that I think of it, why isn't it reviewed on my page?

The biggest problem is with the transformer, because of the magnetic
field it, or they, tend to put out.
I stick it up in a corner of the room away from me. :) and don't turn it
on unless the connection is needed.

For the computer side, I used to use an Intel Ethernet/10 card, but on
the current ASUS motherboard with GigaLan built in, it is acceptable to
use the built in circuits.

I am not familiar with DSL. I am stuck on dialup. :)
Even if you have only one computer with the internet connection, the
other computers connected to it, can share the connection, IF they are
set up correctly. That is a software thing. I'm only saying "Anything is
possible."

It could be. Each piece of equipment may or may not be quiet by design.
My experience has taught me each device or circuit board may or may not
be quiet. Each needs to be tested individually, to know if it is okay,
and has low emissions.

> Isn't DSL & broadand one of the same?
Not really. DSL is one of many ways to connect to the internet.
Broadband is a wide definition, that includes many forms of connections
and methods (satellite, BPL, FIOS, DSL, etc).

Can't say.

Interesting. Into what port is what wire/cable plugged in to?
Which kind of jack or connection type is it?
Is the device being plugged in, turned on?

If your DSL cable brings you all the neighbor's traffic all the time,
than I would say it could be noisy when you're not using it. But that
seems like a security/privacy hole, so maybe it is something more about
the carrier frequency? Maybe somebody else with more hands-on experience
with that kind of DSL could say...

The technician in me is coming out. Down boy down!
