t1 versus cabel/modem

[erik burggraaf]

Well, I never notice to much signal loss on my 2 meg cable, but for the same
price I could switch to 1.3 and 1.5 mb adsl's.  Think I should do it?  Just
to keep this on topic, How would that effect my linux box?  Cable is
auto-detected under both windows and linux.  Adsl, though, tipicly comes
with proprietary software that establishes connections, and they don't seem
to like linux too much.  I know it's possible, just need a pointer in the
right direction.
Cheers,
Erik
BTW, those hd prices are lower as of a day or two ago.  Gues ss it's time to
mod my sig, lol.


You need more space!  Compare hard drives starting at $236 cdn for 120, $304
for 160, and $420 for 200 GB at 7200 RPM.
