got a letter from perlico today informing me that my broadband account is now in service and that a modem would arrive in a few days , thing is , i have an eircom modem ( netopia 12 vdc ) lieing idle in the house a few years and was thinking of using it until the perlico one arrives

i tried to rig it up today but the jack on the dsl ( yellow ) cable wont fit into the port where i always plugged in the telephone line while using dial up at the bottom of the cpu , the jack is too big and will only fit in where the likes of the printer is plugged in half way up , is this normal ??? , also , im not getting any recognition on the computer when i turn on the modem , does it self install or do you need a CD
