Hi Dave, The only real proviso with Telus is that you have to "register" the MAC of the connecting machine with their silly little service (you receive a private class A address until this is completed.
Of course, I'm assuming that this was previously done in windows from the sounds of it, so that would leave basic IP troubleshooting...i.e. can you obtain a public IP addy from DHCP? Can you ping the gateway? Can you ping a known internet host by IP or FQDN?, etc. I've got Telus DSL service and have had no probs with getting on-line with Knoppix, so it's not the distro ;-) Best of luck with it.
