Hello all!
I am new to this country, and had a quick ISP question.
I've got ADSL service through Tiscali...and just to get started was using
their little free router/firewall thing.
This weekend I decided it was time to ditch their device and install the PIX
I brought here from the states.
This is when I learned that Tiscali does -not- support PPPoE, but rather
PPPoA. O'course, my Cisco PIX only supports the more flexible PPPoE method.
Grr.
Is this the case with all ISPs here in the UK?
I have been told that you can use PPPoE in many cases. And that it's just
bad luck if you end up attached to a PPPoA only DSLAM. Not tested this
out however.
Anyone have an old Cisco ATM
device sitting around? :)
I've looked for an ATM device quite a few times, but never managed to find
one. IIRC the early BT ADSL trials used 3 boxes: a DSL modem, ATM router
and IP router. But never actually seen any of this kit.
You could always get a WIC-1ADSL card or cheap Cisco soho class ADSL
router off eBay.
Cheers,
Andrew
