a new and different dsl modem

[Sean McMahon]

You will need windows to use the html interface.  elinks reports several
javascript errors when I've tried.  Use the non-windows setup, make sure you are
set to pppoe or pppoa or dhcp ( this is dhcp for the outside connection) for
your connection to the isp.  Type in your username and password.  The vpi and
vsi numbers need to be set for your isp in the advanced configuration if they
aren't already.  Never used the adsl-setup so cannot tell you.
