Is anyone familiar with the protocols involved and whether it can be used with FreeBSD 4.x? My high speed internet choices are @HOME, ADSL (with pppoe) and Look wireless. I am avoiding the @HOME service, because I do like timely delivery of my email. I can recall several cases of email delivery problems with the cable modem services. The ADSL services available here seem to demand the use of pppoe. I know FreeBSD has a work-around for this. The preferred service is Look. For those unfamiliar with LookTV, it is a direct, digital broadcast from a central antenna to a line-of-sight antenna on your house. The internet connection can be one-way wireless (downlink) and analog modem (uplink), or two way wireless. What I need to know is, what protocols are being used and can FreeBSD handle either the two-way setup or even the wireless/modem setup? Please cc me as I don't subscribe to questions. Thanks.
