Hi Dru and all,
This TA is for ISDN not ADSL
It is a kind (as said) I aint seen before.
It hangs off the machine via the ethernet.
So ppp won't work as is since tunnle device would need
to bind to the physical connection in this case the
nic and therefore the ethrenet/lan.
So lloks like Matthew is closest??? Use pppoe?
I'll try it and see...Wishe me luck.
If any more advice is handy I'd love to see it.
PS Telstra here in australia supply the TA when you
organise an ISDN line. Docs are non-existent since
they install but don't support on anything but win*
How stupid is that!
Thanks Keith
