I am using Telocity dsl with Mandrake. Mandrake 8.0 configured the dsl
connection flawlessly during the install. Telocity uses DHCP to farm out
all network settings which is awesome for Linux. Automatically assigns IP
address and DNS servers. Telocity supplies a dsl router that handles the
connection.

It is a shame I have to report that Telocity tech support is nothing short
of a nightmare to deal with. It took over 6 weeks for my dsl routing to be
configured at my CO. My ticket was escalated 4 times until I spoke with a
technician who cared enough to call my phone company and get the routing
database updated. After speaking with her my connection was live in less
than 24 hours.

By all means get dsl! It rocks!
regards,
Nathan
