Which is for Telstra BigPond. Their current competitor in the cable area
is Optus, for which dhclient is enough.
So both vendors' systems will work happily with linux. They do like you
to have a windorf box for the install as linux isn't one of their
supported platforms. We make up a scratch win95 box for them just for
this. Now linux is talking we'll be putting freebsd or something back
on the spare box...
