You need a regular analog modem which connects to an analog phone
line. If your ADSL provider is the local telephone company, the
ADSL line is also a voice telephone line. If so, you need an ADSL
filter to remove the high frequency noise from the voice side.
Verizon usually provides several filters. You would then run a
telephone cord from your laptop modem to that filtered connection.
If you do not have a separate telephone jack, you will need a
splitter. The filter for wall phones has a splitter built in. Make
sure that the ADSL model is connected to the unfiltered signal.

Corrected "model" to "modem" above and removed trailing line below
my message. The cursor must have been in the wrong place.
