4b. get rid of charter. they recently raised prices and my nv-bell dsl
runs about as good, with slightly higher performance. Although takes
about 1/2 hour of faq reading and fiddling to setup their ppp-o-e.
This was a pain initially for me because I hadn't screwed around with pppoe in the past before getting SBC DSL. When I had DSL installed in my old house, SBC was still on DHCP; new house and new install and now it is PPPoE. blech. :-P
After 15 minutes of screwing with the PPPoE client, I went looking looking for more docs and found 'pppoeconf' which automated the entire process. A quick 'apt-get install pppoeconf' (over a modem) and I was authenticated and up and running in under 2 minutes. Very nice :-)
5. run freebsd as a fw router (with no mouse, graphics card etc.) and don't care.
FreeBSD? Isn't this a Linux list? (smirks at Mark ;-)
