I at one time had my Linux box connected to the internet through ADSL. The
actual setup was actually trouble free. The most important step I think was
changing the settings on the 3Com card to 10Mbps, Half Duplex. (It defaulted
to Auto). Other than that name your machine as it's registered with the ISP,
give it the domain name of the ISP. Ensure the interface is set as a DHCP
client and that should be it. You may need to enter the DNS servers as well.
/sbin/ifconfig
will tell if your interface has connected and received it's IP address.

Subject: [newbie] ADSL?
No one yet contacted me so I thought I might try again. Anyone out there
using a linux box connected to an ISP through ADSL? If so please contact
me off list if you are willing to share your experiences of getting it
running. Thanks.
