RE: Telstra cable...

[Davidson, Brett (Managed Services)]

I know this is off-topic but do TC normally configure a static IP address or dynamic?

Anyone know what would it take to get a static address from them?

It is *normally* terminated as ethernet. They will need a power socket as in one of the boxes they install is a media converter. You simply need your machine to be natting to share it over your network. Also the ip they are providing you may be required to configure your interface.

Is anyone on cable that can tell me what is required?

I know they supply a modem, what do I need to plug that in to?

Can I put it directly into the back of a debian machine?  What software
do I need install?

Then I can just share it on the wireless and other net cards.

TIA

Cheers Don
