Yes USB to ADSL modem to POTS. I think your suggestion of buying a router was
still valid however, I found several recommendations to do this when I was
Googling to find out how to get pon and poff working. However I was and am
determined that I shouldn't need to buy any more hardware than Windows has
needed, and I felt vindicated in this when I did get pon and poff working.
With that I now have almost everything I want, so the case for buying more
hardware is even weaker now than it was when I started out. I could even put
'pon' in the initrc file (or whatever it's called these days), or perhaps in
users' .profiles, so that nobody would need to type it explicitly. However I
would prefer to get the 'demand' feature working - since it is supposed to
work, and it is cooler - and I also still like the idea of having a GUI dialog.
Maybe it's because I have used Windows for too long and have developed
Stockholm syndrome, but I like the way it lets me see, and approve, connection
attempts.
