You would, but you may also find that the modem will fall back to a speed
lower than 56K. You would gain full ADSL speeds for your laptop by
connection via a router or ICS through your desktop. You would additionally
gain file sharing between your machines

If you use the £3.99 filter from Lioncom and have problems you can add a

as well.
