Advice request: DSL modem
I am looking for advice regarding DSL Modems: I need to add a computer to our VPN which is implemented using the FreeBSD IPSEC protocols. So far, all our sites are connected using a wireless point-to-point link provided by our ISP that gives us fixed IP addresses with no NAT issues. Now I need to add a site with a DSL link. My ISP will give me a fixed IP address for this site but can anyone recommend a DSL modem (ADSL2) that will be easy to configure with this setup ? (The previous model I used successfully for this purpose is no longer available) Thanks Mike Michael Doyle Network Administrator, Co-operation Ireland mdo...@cooperationireland.org http://www.cooperationireland.org/ Co-operation Ireland Events: http://www.cooperationireland.org/supportus/overview Not another brick in the wall: http://www.cooperationireland.org/appeal/ Phone: +353-1-6610588 Fax: +353-1-6618456 Mobile: 00353-87-2357853 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: Advice request: DSL modem
Mike, I use a Draytek Vigor 120 (I'm in the UK, but it most certainly will work for you aswell). This is a self-contained ADSL modem that presents a PPPoE interface to your PC or server via a conventional RJ45 connector. It is painless and past firmware hiccups accepted, performs very well indeed. http://www.draytek.co.uk/products/vigor120.html I use it in preference to anything because it does not get you embroiled in PCI device driver support and it doesn't NAT or otherwise screw with the conenction - you get 'the internet' and nothing more. The only downside is it is not cheap. I think I paid around 50 GBP. Best regards, Matt.
