I am running adsl on Mandrake with a little help from a
software package I picked up called Babylon 1.4
With the service I have it's threw Sympatico High Speed
and we cannot plug the modem into the hub it won't work!
They also use a custom connection threw " There dialer"
but they will not support Linux. I finally found the
Babylon dialer though and the support they give via E-mail
is amazing! Same day usually within 2-3 hour response time.
I think that is great response for software that is free.
Just do a search under www.freshmeat.com for pppoe.
As to sharing the connection, that is something I'm working
on as we speak called masquerading and IP chains. Sorry
I'm a newbie too!
Hope that helps
Mike
