I've just ordered ADSL from Telstra. I've just started looking at the
ADSL docs, and I'm just wondering if anyone who has Telstra ADSL can
give me a heads up on what to expect and therefore how to prepare.
I'm running dual boot Woody (2.4.0-test11) and Window$ 98. I currently
have no networking of any kind except dial up ppp.
A few questions, basically aimed at getting the preconfiguration right
in advance:
* What kind of NIC does Telstra ADSL use?
* Any other options I should make sure are compiled into the kernel?
* Should I tell them I'm using it on a dual boot machine, or am I better
to just let them set it up on Win98 to deal with any line problems/
problems at their end etc, and then do the linux setup? How hostile are
they to linux users?
* Is the service bridged with DHCP or PPPoE? If PPPoE, what clients are
people using?
* Static IP or dynamic?
Any other tips, including particularly good sources for RTFM,
appreciated.
cheers,
