DSL is easy with linux, set it up just like you would anything else, no
complication to it..SWB will have to give you the dsl modem and come and
hook up your lines or whatever it is they do, but then from there the dsl
modem goes into your nic card in your linux box and if you want to do DHCP
then you just set it up like you think it needs to be set up and it will
work. there may be a little configuration to do on the dsl modem itself,
but you can do that by telneting to it or using a web browser, but in your
case i doubt you will have to do anything, unless you are getting static
ips or something like that...don't let SWB discourage you, it's really
easy, and you'll probably be surprised because the way you *think* it
needs to be set up is probably right..
