I highly doubt there will be any issues. The communication between the switch (built-in to the modem) and your OpenBSD box uses the TCP/IP protocol. The OS is not even an issue. Also, you will communicate with the modem via the http protocol for config stuff. BTW, I do not own and have never used this modem, so YMMV. > Is there any issues I should consider before taking the connection > from the service prodiver? Any other technical details? None serious enough to mention. > I really want my ADSL connection to work with Open3.7. It will. Does this guy even need a modem? (I know I should start a new thread with this, but here we go) Can't an OpenBSD box handle a PPPoE/PPPoA connection directly? I recently setup a VPN between two networks with DSL connections where the modems make a PPPoA connection. An OpenBSD box resides behind each modem. Basically, the modem gets an IP address dynamically, does the authentication, and gets the block of static IPs, one of which the OBSD box gets. So I was thinking, couldn't the OBSD box theoretically make the connection and eliminate the modem all together? Regards, Clint Pachl
