- Hello I am hoping to be an early adopter of ADSL in Australia
Situation
- Here are the specifications for end user equipment for ADSL in Australia
Modems using an Ethernet interface will use PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) protocol between the modem and the Telstra Access
Server (TAS), and will require Client Software (Enternet from NTS) to be installed on the PC to allow the Dial Up Networking
(DUN) session to interface with the Ethernet port
,End User Equipment ADSL
The computer to be used by the end users may be a PC or Macintosh.
For PC users the minimum specifications are as follows:-
Specifications
Minimum
Processor
Intel Pentium 133 MHz
RAM
32MB for Win 95 or 64MB for Win 98 / NT
Hard Disk Space
1GB for a new system or 100MB for just the modem software
Video Memory
4Mb
Graphics Card
AGP
CD ROM
Internet Browser
Operating System
Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000
USB Ports
Needed for the USB modem
Ethernet Card
Needed if using ethernet modem
PCI ATM Card
Needed if using internal modem
Question
-I know it works over the TCP/IP protocol stack so I can use FreeBSD, Linux,
Mac, etc etc
- On the above item it specifies I need to setup "special client" software,
isn't it a matter of binding a IP address to the second ethernet card?
- How would I get that special client software to work on FreeBSD?
