A lot of DSL modems have have 1 plug in the back to receive the DSL line, and 4 plugs in the back to receive ethernet cables to computers. That is what I have, so that is what I was describing, but if you have a router or an ethernet hub plugged into the DSL modem, that should work equally well, with the additional Linux computer. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ . http://robertwittig.org/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
