I'd prefer to use a PCI modem, but I'm open to > anything. BTW telco uses PPPoA (RFC2364). Why internal? I bought a dlink 300+ ehernet modem a couple of months ago. It has pppoe and pppoa and some other option as well built into the modem, so all I had to do was plug it in to a second ethernet card, give it a username and password through its web interface and it worked. It uses dhcp to give an ip address to your ethernet card, so you don't need any software at all on the debian side. No router, but maybe dlink has a fancier model that does, otherwise just use your linux box. dc -- David Purton dcpurton@chariot.net.au If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
