ADSL Modem

[Peter Hiscocks]

Juan -

As it turns out, Pathcom are offering a BB0060 modem for ethernet (lan)
connection to this machine. It's useful to know it's working with Debian,
that is encouraging. Looks like a good route to go. 

Thanks for the suggestion.

Peter

A friend of mine, set the modem up as a Bridge under windows, saved the settings, unplugged it from the windows machine and plugged back in to the Linux box and the rp-pppoe software built-in in the linux server did the connection.
