> Install ADSL4Linux.
> Download the following files:

> (you can use a floppy for this)
> Execute the following commands in the directory in wich you placed the
> files
>
> chmod +x install.sh
> ./install.sh
>
> Now you have to enter the login/password for your Mxstream account and
> you can install ADSL4Linux
> ATTENTION!
> Included in the ADSL4Linux package you will find an automatic
> configuration script for your modem. This only works

> installed by default.
> But normally you won't have to use this script
> Now execute the following command

> adsl start
