If you have two-way service, using a cable/dsl router should work.

These routers rely on an external device to provide connection to the internet,
such as a cable modem or DSL modem (or in your case, the direcway terminal:

Notice they both have RJ-45 interfaces; you just hook your router into that and
you should be golden*.

*This is all theoretical.  You will want to do some more checking, or run this
by the people at DirecWay first, but I'm fairly certain this is accurrate).

Take Care,
