The D-link box IS THE MODEM.  Not exactly smart to suggest getting rid of 
it.

Erm, the D-link is the modem, getting another modem would help, how?

With some corrections, it's basically the only choice.  What he should keep 
is the LINKSYS unit, not the D-link one.

Most DSL services are compatible.  I've swapped out several over the years. 
Westell units lasted the longest.  Get one of those and plug it into the DSL 
telephone line.  Then plug the WRT54G into the ethernet port on it.  That's 
the most common DSL setup, and what I've used for years.
