ADSL and Linux (or specificly Debian)



Hi,

  I've just called my telco and ISP to set me up the ADSL connection.
  I'd like to know if I need to do something on the Linux box to provide
  something similar to IP Masquerad as I've done for 56K modem
connection?

  My currently setup is:
     1 Linux box (Debian bo distribute <I'm a little behind to upgrade
to hamm)
     1 Windows/NT server
     2 Windows/NT workstation (one desktop and one notebook).
     All of these have NIC (PCMCIA on notebook)
     
     1 100base TX hub. And all the above PC and notebook hooked to the
hub.
     1 56k external modem connected to the Linux box
     
     The Linux/Debian box has custom built kernel that handle the
IP-Masq.
     Currently, all of the above PC can connect to the internet via the
     Linux box without any problem (I love Linux.  Linux save me $600.00
     if I would have the similar thing on windows/NT).

     The internet connection from Linux to my ISP is PPP (Linux is the
best).
     All these have been working great for me.  I've just check the
'uptime'
     and the Linux box has been up for 281 days. (Linux never crash on
me :)
     Now, I'd like to move on to ADSL instead of the 56K modem.

  My telco will lease me the modem that will connected to my hub. And
  My ISP told me that I'll be assigned two static IP addresses.
  The ISP also told me that I can only have two PC connect to
  the internet because I have only to IPs.

  Now, I'd like to see if the Linux expert community can help me setup
the
  ADSL on Linux if possible to allow all my PCs to connect to the
internet
  similar to what I currently have with IP-Masq using 56K modem and PPP!

  If possible, could you please reply this email to or cc to
'tcp@iqrinc.com'
  because the 'iquest@gte.net' account will be inactive by month end.

  Many thank in advance.
