[-- Attachment #1 --] On Wed, Jun 08, 2005 at 07:23:01PM +0200, Benny Goemans <benny.goemans@telenet.be> was witnessed plotting the following conspiracy: > Hi, > > I'm switching from cable to ADSL in a month and I was wondering what (kind of) modem I should best go for. Would it best be one that connects to a NIC or to USB. I'm now using a (console) NAT & proxy server, with which I should be certain it works. For this, I would like to have some possibility to automatically dial at boot time (or if the modem takes care of that, even better). > > Should someone be using an ADSL modem on this kind of connection, would it be possible to tell some more about it? > > Thx in advance, > > Benny Goemans I don't use ADSL (I use cable, a modem which uses Ethernet for connectivity), but your best bet, barring a similar Ethernet modem, is to look around in HARDWARE.txt to see if it is compatible. Check the manpage for the driver; see if there are any caveats to worry about. -Dan -- Dan Ponte http://www.theamigan.net/ Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while.
