ADSL and linux

[Terry D. Cudney]

Hi Erik,

	You need a ppoe client. You can get one from your distribution ( I thnk most distributions now include one) or you can go to:

	... and check in their Products list fro rpppoe. I used it before,  though I'm now on cable since adsl isn't available where I live now.

HTH,

When all of my machines connect to cable, both linux and windows contact my isps servers automaticly.  ADSL networks can be set up to do this, but they require a piece of software to be installed on the client machine.  I am sure this does not spell woe for linux users, but is there anything extra I'll need to connect to DSL?  Where would I look for software and docs?
