Does ur BSNL DataOne modem(type I) has USB port?

[shrohit]

hello friends

today i registered for bsnl dataone line (home 500) .I want to ask u that bsnl states on site that type 1 modem contains a LAN and a USB port, is it true?

i think i've seen many posts asking bout modem,so i want to know from existing DataOne users that do i need to buy NIC or my existing USB ports will be enough?

Well, i got a USB Huawie modem, yes they have a usb option, so no worry pal !

If the person doesnt bring it jus request im and he will do so...

what is the advantage of usb modem compared to lan?? i think even the usb modem will need external power.

not sure, but usb stuff are supposed to draw power from the usb itself

Both the USB and the ETHERNET modem will need external power. You can use any of them since the speed will remain the same as compared to each other. Therefore there is almost no difference in the connectivity of USB and LAN modems supplied by BSNL.
