I think it's just a technicality in that the term modem is now mainly used incorrectly when referring to devices that interpret one protocol and convert it to another. The netgear router probably has the ability to run PPPoE when directly connected to a DSL (line) which means it is establishing the connection and acting as the modem and router. Ypu can still find dial-up modems if you need one, but they are a little harder to find.

It means you have to hook up a modem that you were given by your service provider.
