STAY AWAY from ANY dsl modem that does NOT have an ethernet jack on it!!! Such as the USB speedtouches that Pipex was handing out for free!! There's a reason they are free!! You can't pay people (who know anything) to take them!!!

What is so wrong with USB DSL modems? I have an Alcatel Speedtouch modem that has been absolutely rock solid since I bought it on ebay for £8.50. It was very easy to setup. I just installed the pppoa port and set up the ppp.conf file and plugged it in. Takes about 30secs to 1minute to start-up on a boot but once it is running I have no problems at all. Using it for my home server and I route all of my home network traffic out through it. No problems at all.

What is your DSL provider, what telephone company are they using? Are you running bridged or ppp mode DSL?
DSL modems all use proprietary implementations of the DMT protocol, while many will interoperate with different DSL providers and DSLAMS, not all will.

Hi Ted, the relevant info:
ISP: Pipex UK - www.pipex.net TelCo: British Telecom
I am currently connecting to them via PPPoA (I assume this is what you're referring to, I'm not as knowledgeable as I'd like to be about DSL).
Cheers, Mark
