Actually, setting up DSL for linux is much much easier than setting up that freakin'
KPPP. As far as your connectivity with DSL.
You can go a couple of routes. The first option (which I prefer) is to get a couple
of static IP addresses from your ISP. One for
each of your machines. The second option is to stick with one IP and use your
linuxbox as a proxy server. Connect your DSL modem
to your hub and off you go! Try out that GTE Bronze+ package. It gets the most for
your $.
There is a new DSL that doesn't require you to be close to a central station. Which
means pretty much everyone will be able to get
DSL. It even goes up to 4Mb/Sec. But this is still in the works.
So get that stuff ordered and I'll get to more details if needed.
