Hello all,
new Debian user here, hope somebody can help.

Hi Michael
thanks for your help. I tried those three lines at the top of my provider file

Yes USB to ADSL modem to POTS. I think your suggestion of buying a router was
still valid however, I found several rec

Thanks for that suggestion H.S., yes I think my 'guests' could manage that. I
have added my guest accounts to the 'dip' group so the shortcut wouldn't need
to use 'sudo'. However, in light of

Good idea, should have thought of that myself. On reflection though, although
my guests will only want to use iceweasel, I occasionally use other internet
programs such as
