If you have the spare hardware (486 with 16 MB will do), you could also put a machine in between that runs OpenBSD and takes over the routing job from the DSL router or runs proxy-ARP. PIX-quality firewall for a fraction of the price :-) > Anyone with knowledge/experience on a WorldCom setup ? Shouldn't really matter. It is either PPPoA/E, in which case you let the tunnel terminate on the OpenBSD system, or it is RFC 1483, in which case you set up the OpenBSD system to do proxy-ARP.
