Hi Fazer In Western Europe, we probably started using ADSL several years before you, when there was even less support, and only on 32 bit. Most people use ethernet ADSL routers for Linux, so there has never been very much pressure to support ppp, atm or anyother ADSL specific protocol- it is all handled under ethernet support which is very mature. The other advantage is that you set up your router once and if you have other computers or dual boot into windows or other linux distributions, then you only need to set up the ethernet interface to get access to the internet. ADSL modems are just a headache, requiring maintenance of the drivers to track the kernel. ["I can't upgrade to kernel version 2.8... because the ADSL modem drivers don't work"]. In Poland can you buy and use ADSL routers? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
