[-- Attachment #1 --] Umm...I believe thats the internal 3com dsl router ...and I would say absalutly don't buy that piece of crap and expect it to work with BSD...My friend had one that he wanted to use with W2k...and of course they didn't even have drivers for that (so I doubt even linux would be supported)...Also...check and see if your DSL provider offers multiple Dynamic IPS...usually the big telco ISP's do, and if so try to get an external modem, and a hub (you said you where going to use NAT, so I take it that your not to concerned about security)...I don't know what area your in, but where I'm from (Southern California) they offer all CPE for free...If I was you I would try to find the same deal...try to haggle a little...see if anything comes of it. adam ----- Original Message ----- From: Clay Smith To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2000 2:24 PM Subject: Freebsd and ADSL I'm getting ADSL in my home on Thursday and I'll be using my freebsd server with NAT to get my network on the internet just like I do now. The only problem is, I'm not getting a dsl modem from my telco, so I have to purchase one elsewhere. The best one I can find is an internal 3com PCI adsl ATU. Does anyone know if this is supported under Freebsd 4.0-Stable? If not, will it be if I upgrade to current?
