I believe there is a kernel module for the protocol, as well as user space software. The one from ragingpenguin.com has gotten quite good reviews, although I have never used it myself.

configuring my network settings
Hello. I am brand new to this. When replying to me, you may write me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and share your ideas about my problem. I have a c309 ether net card. This is hooked up to a hub. The hub goes into a fire wall box. The fire wall box is what is attached to a d s l modem. But the linux box is not the computer with the d s l software on it. My friend has d s l. His machine is the one with the win poet software. What network protocal should I use to access the net? When using windows, I just start internet explorer. My computer just looks for a l a n connection. How can a linux machine do the same thing? _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
