Can I use a Linksys WCG200 with an ADSL/Wireless ISP?

I have a Linksys WCG200 Wireless-G Cable Gateway (HW version 1.2b, SW
version 1.1.2.9.4-1104) that I have previously used to great satisfaction
with Comcast cable. I hardwire my desktop to it and use wireless to
connect to a Linksys WUSB54GP on my wife's desktop and a Linksys WPC55AG
on a laptop.

I recently relocated to a somewhat more remote area without cable so I'm
back to dialup (YUK!) but still use the Linksys products to do file and
printer sharing in my home. Cal-Ore (http://www.cot.net) has announced
that it intends to soon provide "ADSL/Wireless" service in my area.

My question: Will I be able to use the WCG200 to access Cal-Ore's
ADSL/Wireless service as I had previously used it with cable or will I
need to purchase a new gateway device? If the latter, what Linksys
product would be a drop-in sustitute for the WCG200 and provide all of
the features I have previously and currently enjoyed?

adTHANKSvance!

1. Replace the WCG200 with a new wireless router and connect it to the
DSL modem.

2. Use the WCG200 as a wireless access point (instead of as a router, as
described in the How To below) connected to a new wired router connected
in turn to the DSL modem.
