Well Heinz, English is als not my first language.
So I have to try to put my thoughts in simple words. Like you do I presume
Sorry if I can't help you, because you put your statement in front, and 
not underneath my lines.
So I do not have any clue, which text-part you don't understand.

In the Netherlands the competition between the providers is strong. You 
get more for less.
This means that the upload/donwload stream get bigger for the same or 
less flat-fee per month.
Keep that in mind and that USB is a piece of hardware that is not 
capable (in the end) to cope with such data quantity streams.
USB is invented after DOS. SO to have drivers to get USB under DOS is 
difficult if not possible.

In order to use GEMWEB you need the other vehicle, and that is a sort of 
TXP/IP going is it not?

I use a DSL-router modem.
The trick above is correct, with the following addition/mutation (IMHO):
IP is the IP you give to your own PC. Static or via dhcp
GATEWAY is the ip-adres you give your router.
The default route should lead to this IP-adres.
seearch through the man-pages and you will find a command line that 
reads like:
route add 0 ip-adres or route add default ip-adres
nameserver or DNS should contain the ip-adres of your own router and the 
dns-ip that form your provider. So in total 2 lines.
OS/2 has a maximum of 3 DNS. Maybe have other OS'es a other limit.
