The internet at my place is busted, and I need a modem to test where the 
problem is. So I can annoy the right people to get it fixed (new modem 
--> landlord, line --> belgacom) Anyone has a spare one I can use to 
test this (and perhaps as a replacement for a couple days if in fact the 
modem is dead)

Thanks in advance,
Seb

  
    
Nope, sorry. Not one of those things people usually have spare I think.

  
There always is the off-chance that someone switched from ADSL to telenet, so it doesn't hurt to ask. But I would say it was just one more stupid suggestion of the ever-so-ingenious helpdesk.
