I dont know what pieces of hardware I need to set it up. And I dont have a lan, I use FreeBSD at home for fun and to study. Could you tell me what do I need to buy to start using ADSL? A modem (where can I discover if it is compatible with FreeBSD?). I heard that some ADSL providers work in a diferent way (PPPoE and PPTP). Well, please give me some advice about this stuff, it would be great. Thank you To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
