Cheers, Vladimir. > Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Is this a normal DSL Modem with an ethernet at its back connect to your desktop or an router? How much did you pay for it? If it is cheap enuf, I think it is worth to get it as a standalone DSL modem. The reason I want to install freebsd in one of these DSL modem is because here in Australia ISPs do not lease out their DSL modem to end user. User will end up purchase expensive crapy DSL Modem (eg. Netgear) from computer shop. As I have a freebsd gateway used to dail-up pppoe thru an external DSL modem when I was in another country, I want to reconfigure this freebsd router to make it able to handle DSL modem communication. But I need to purchase a DSL modem card for it. If an external DSL modem like Speedtouch is cheap enuf and provide stable system enviornment in the DSL Bridge mode, I would like to purchase one as an external DSL modem. On the other hand, if you know how to configure freebsd with a DSL Modem card in freebsd, please let me know how to do that. And if you also know where to purchase a barebone DSL Modem (without a system) for development purpose (eg. Speedtouch), please also let me know.
