ADSL is available in Austin in certain places. You have to be <17,500' from a substation, tho. Check the SWBT ADSL page at: http://www.swbell.com/cgi-bin/page.exe?file=ProdGet.html&PRODUCT_CODE=DSL&BACK_URL=&BACK_TEXT= -- Richard Martin OriGen BiomedicalTel: +1 512 474 7278 2

I just called and got tha low-down. It's $212 for the equipment, and they don't give a rat's ass if you have your own NIC or not, the price does not change. The low speed (300 something kbps) costs 39/month and the high speed 1.5mbps costs 129/month. right now, there are 3 isps who support dsl.

ADSL is not officially available in Austin yet. There has been a test program available for businesses at exorbatant rates. I read an article in the paper a few weeks ago about it. It is supposed to be available to home users late spring or early summer. The rate was said to be $39/mo., $49/m

I've tried calling just "0" for the operator, but they usually don't know what the hell ADSL is, and after I desparately try to explain it, and escalate the call to a few other supervisors, I still can't get ahold of anyone competent. Who exactly should I be calling? Thanks, George Winn At 02:33

My understanding of ADLS (I'm very interested in this) is that one possible configuration is where you have a DSL ANT (terminator) that has a 10baseT output that you plug into your normal net card. In this situation, linux runs readily with it. I think if you get ADSL from SWBell, you'll get an
