Hello, I was wondering if Motorola SB4200 cable Modems can also use DSL connections? If no is there a Motorola Broadband Modem that can? Thank you.

I don't believe so because cable modems get their Internet connection from the round (coaxial) cable that your *cable TV* comes from. DSL modems connect to your *phone line*. Unless a modem supports both phone line and cable you are out of luck. I don't see any mention of DSL on the SB4200's web page.
