Any suggestions?=20 If you get something like a D-Link DSL 300G+ then the modem handles doing t= he=20 ppp crap itself and will work with any OS. All you need to do is to plug it= =20 into an ethernet card, where it will hand out your machine a DHCP lease, an= d=20 everything will magically work. The only annoyance with it is that the DHCP leases it hands out are about 5= =2D10=20 seconds in length (well, I guess there's no other way if you've got a dynam= ic=20 IP on you DSL), but for those with static IPs it's pretty damn annoying. =2D --=20 Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/4FylF8Iu1zN5WiwRAmTLAJ40tg/tVZ5UpffAJ+HK0kSi8kA+SQCdEoME +/Wd4fY0CkWALvNO9hmIFYQ=3D =3DToZO =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
