I recently had some trouble in setting up an ADSL modem (it didn't work with 5.2.1). What I did in the end was buy a 4-port ADSL NAT router, and I think it's actually for the best. They are quite cheap these days, and they have some strong advantages over a basic modem. - they're configured with a web-browser, so they don't care what OS you use, and you just setup your computer as if you're on a lan. -you get spare ethernet ports, for connection sharing and local networking. -they usually have a built-in firewall which is a useful extra level of security, and very desirable if you ever use Windows. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
