I have 6.1 connected to a 758 ADSL line and another 6.1 connected to a cable
modem. Is there a specific problem you are experiencing?
I just ran netcfg as root.
Click the Interfaces button.
Double-Click the Ethernet card you are connected to ADSL on.
Remove any assigned IP and Netmask settings.
Click Activate interface at boot time.
Change Interface Configuration Protocol to DHCP.
Click DONE
Click SAVE
Click SAVE
Click QUIT
I did have trouble with the second nic card getting assigned a seperate DHCP
address, so I obtained the first one and hard set that NIC to that IP (they
probably won't like that, but it worked)and then continue to run DHCP on the
other card. If you need more help I'll send config files directly to you.

Hopefully by then I will be connected. Since no one else has responded
yet, seems I may be at the frontier's edge on this. I am expecting
installation a week from monday. This is all new to my ISP as well. I am
their "test case", primarily because I have been bugging them to get it
up for months. I may be wrong, but I think the major primary players in
my area (the phone companies themselves- Bell South and Sprint) won't
hook up ADSL to a linux box, in some areas they are not even authorizing
mac boxes yet. I will certainly keep folks posted on experiences.
Meanwhile if anyone has done this yet I would love to hear from you.
Thanks.
