It's right in the room right where I'll be setting up the DSL.

The previous owner nicely spread CAT5e ethernet cables to the living room
and the front bedroom in which the computers will reside.  If there is an
existing phone box where those wires meet, then this will be a non-issue
and I can set up the cable modem and router there instead.  (This could
have the nice side-effect of hooking up a wired connection to the Roku and
any other TV devices.)  I have to do some research.
