I've no experience with it however. If you ask me an ethernet interface is always better for networking tasks. You may also be interested to know that Bruce Simpson <bms@spc.org> is working on a driver for the Efficent Networks SpeedStream 3060 line of xDSL PCI Cards. The driver isn't working yet but you can contact him for details about helping him test it. Cheers. Andrew.
