So, I guess what you're saying is for me to have any hope of getting ADSL
to work in RH 7.0, I'll have to upgrade the kernel to 2.4 first? I was
hoping to get DSL working before doing anything like that. I have a stock
RH 7.0 Respin install and I didn't want to upgrade or download anything at
56k.

Are you saying that ADSL modems are available to connect to a hub? That is
what I would have prefered but all I could find at the time were routers
and USB. I do have a small network that I want to share DSL with all the
boxes. So what do you suggest I do?
Thanks.
