You can't really go wrong with a ZyXEL ADSL router. See http://www.zyxel.co.uk/ Most models support SNMP, sysloging, and a *FULL* telnet interface that can be scripted via expect (an OBSD package) I have a cron job that pings some devices at my ISP, and if that fails, telnet into the router and reset the line/reboot it. You could be more intelligent by using SNMP traps, or tail a syslog file grep for session closing notifications. FWIW, they use a BSD internally and not a Linux, so they are pretty stable. Craig.

I've been using an Thomson (previously Alcatel) Speedtouch USB ADSL modem. ugen0 at uhub0 port 1 ugen0: THOMSON Speed Touch 330, rev 1.10/4.00, addr 2 The drivers here http://www.xsproject.org/speedtouch/ or here http:// sourceforge.net/projects/speedtouch/ will work, however there are some issues: - compilation doesn't without error, but a useable executable is produced - you need firmware from the Thomson site - /var/log/messages will get filled with the following, when traffic passes through your gateway at around or over 100kbps pppoa2[13927]: write_dest: 3800 ENOBUFS errors Hope it helps poncenby Thanks George -- This email has been verified as Virus free Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net
Re: ADSL modem intern
Are there any plans to import ueaglectl to OpenBSD? http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ueagle/ The whole idea is to one day fix this so that it can just work automatically, using ifconfig. Please read a posting about 2 weeks ago by dlg comparing bioctl to ifconfig. Please google for it. And then stop being ridiculous. Should we have a special tool for every special device? I think not.
Re: ADSL modem intern
on the modem side, do you have to set-up NAT in order to be able to access your OBSD from the Internet? I think the Alcatel modem does have NAT - or not?

It has the advantage I have an ethernet interface with the external ip. That kind of config is very native to OpenBSD. A PPTP conn. is not very native and therefor it may cause trouble.

Re: ADSL modem intern
I'm in the same boat. Actually, I don't really need an internal ADSL modem per se, primarily I just need a managed ADSL device from which I can automatically obtain line quality and carrier loss information via SNMP or a serial port or some other OpenBSD-compatible mechanism. I had one of the little Cisco ADSL external bridges (675?), but it eventually melted down and just stopped working entirely. Are there any plans to import ueaglectl to OpenBSD? http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ueagle/ Thanks, Kevin

I have a great little Cisco 678 that I'm using now, and won't need once I get the Sangoma card working. It has nice SNMP support, but it's not fully compatible with the Alcatel DSLAM at my current location, so I don't get full up/down bandwidth anymore. :( Thanks, Kevin -- Chris 'Xenon' Hanson | Xenon @ 3D Nature | http://www.3DNature.com/ I set the wheels in motion, turn up all the machines, activate the programs, and run behind the scenes.
