Should work just fine as long as VZ is doing straight ethernet bridging. If they require you to do PPPoE, I'd spend $50 and get a linksys/etc broadband router/firewall that can do the pppoe for you, and just pass bog standard ip over ethernet to your SE/30.
Josh C For refrence, I've got an SE/30 acting as my colocated mysql server. Granted it's running NetBSD... but with creativity nearly anything is possible. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Compact Macs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2003 9:29 AM Subject: Here's that DSL Question Again > This subject seems to come up occationally, but when I searched the > archives for "DSL" and "Verizon", nothing really appeared.
