Thanks Jacques, All of the modems I'm looking at support PPPoA/E. I would probably prefer ethernet, as I'm pretty sure the box I want to run LEAF on doesn't have USB. I reckon most external ethernet ADSL modems should be fairly compatible with Linux. I have been looking at internal ones, which are cheaper and would save me one NIC too. This one seems interesting (you may have heard of it - it's a French company) http://www.bewan.com/bewan/products/adsl/bwadslpcist.php It says it's supported by Linux, although I'm investigating further as they don't seem to have a linux driver or much linux info. They also mention a minimum requirement of p266MMX. Now I only have a p166 for this, but I guess they're not really expecting it to be connected to LEAF (or even Linux!!) so I'd be interested to know people's opinions on the performance of having an internal ADSL PCI modem on the LEAF. I wouldn't have thought it would be a problem at all. Finally, if I was to go with an internal card, is it just a case of getting the driver and loading it as a module, then configuring the interface just as if it was a ppp0 or eth0 etc? Do you know what the kernel would call this interface on recognition? ppp0? many thanks for your help, regards Dave _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
