Uh..well, I think you hosed, then.  I think Qwest is only shipping the
Actiontec wireless with new DSL.  I could be wrong, though, and you
might be able to get them to send you an Actiontec 152x unit.  Those are
non-wireless, 4-port gateways.  But, they only rented those ($5/mo)
rather than allowing for purchase.  The new Actiontec wirelesses are for
purchase or rent ($70 (?) or $3/mo).

Other than that...you might have to hit eBay to find the old Cisco
units.  Finding the Actiontec's will be hard if they were never for
purchase.
