Unfortunatly you are probably screwed.  As far as I know there is no
support for either internal cable modems or internal DSL modems.
Shooting the idiots at your ISP is probably the best option. ;-)  On
that DSL option, that sounds like IDSL (i.e. DSL with ISDN switching) so
you might want to consider ISDN.  It's metered, but at least it probably
wouldn't cost $7500 to install.
