I find this hard to believe You're right; they're wrong. They (almost) all say this. As someone else said, "clueless." What comes out of the DSL modem is TCP/IP on Ethernet. TCP/IP is *nix native networking protocol. SBC may send a CD to new subscribers, full of M/W software -- that won't work. And the glossy "Quick Start" instructions won't either. But the TCP/IP networking will work fine. Plug it into the Linux box, configure it's networking (probably just tell it to use Ethernet instead of PPP), and you're on the air. -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
