I imagine your ISP has an etherenet ADSL modem available. The most straightforward solution is an Ethernet ADSL-router. Ethernet modems are fine if you live in a part of the world where PPPoE is the normal way of delivering ADSL, otherwise there are pitfalls. USB modem drivers are a problem with FreeBSD, there's an Alcatel driver in the port net/pppoa, and there is an Eagle chipset driver here: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ueagle/faq.html ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to make ADSL modem conections FBSD 6.1
HI all I am a newbie to FreebSD (I have a couple of systems running...) and I would like to know how to make internet connections using an USB ADSL modem, the ones that the telephon companies give the user when they make a ADSL contract. Which are the steps? These modems usually hav only Windows drivers... thnaks in advance Juan Coruña Desarrollo de Software Atlantico ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I also think the ethernet modem is faster. -- Bryan --- DSA - JCR [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI all I am a newbie to FreebSD (I have a couple of systems running...) and I would like to know how to make internet connections using an USB ADSL modem, the ones that the telephon companies give the user when they make a ADSL contract.
