dsl and the confusedness the howto brings about various protocols

[Brent Harding]

	I hear now there's another entry in the mix of dsl, "P O A. I heard linux
doesn't have good support for it, somehow it uses the raw traffic of dsl
with ppp, but I really don't know much about it. I think, once my isp
starts offering it, they say they install a router, so hopefully it'd be
good enough to handle whatever they use, but one never can tell. If it
really is a router, and it gets the static IP I should be maintaing even
when I get it, how can I run stuff in linux like mail, web, whatever that
outsiders still can access? If eth0 gets the private address the router
uses for gatewaying, http requests would be taken by the router, not the
linux box behind it.
