It may be worth your while looking at alternative ISPs. I went with Internode. I get a static IP, no pppoe client required - just set up a static IP on (one) of your ethernet interfaces, plug it into the ADSL modem, plug modem into phone line. No howto is really required. It was also alot cheaper than the BPDirect option, and I did not have to sign up for any long term contracts (just buy the ADSL modem). I have also been very happy with the service/reliability (though I have yet to see 1.5Mb download speed :) -- Cheers, Jim. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
