I'm thinking of getting a DSL but am a bit confused on what to ask the companies to ensure that the line will work with FreeBSD. I assume that even if they don't advertise it to work with FreeBSD, in some cases it probably does. If a company doesn't explicitly advertise "works with UNIX" (Telocity is the only one I've seen that does this), what questions can I ask that will convince me that it does? Do I just have to be sure that the NIC card they want to install has a driver that can be added to the kernel config? Also, I've read that the local telco (Ameritech) "will only work with Windows" and uses an ATM NIC. Is that bad? And I guess I could throw this in: And DSL company recommendations? -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
