Buying that router to learn on doesn't sound like a great idea to me. If you plug the cable connection into the ethernet how are you going to route? The ADSL interface probably won't work in the way you expect.
If you want to learn Cisco there are router sims and cheap 2nd hand modular routers like the 1720 around that will be more flexible. Your best bet however for ADSL to work something like you expect is the Roaring penguin PPPoE does have some sort of Access concentrator mode. I have no idea how/if it works tho, I just read it exists. dave On Sun, 2003-02-16 at 23:30, Dinesh wrote: > hi all, > > I am planning to buy a cisco 827-4V for home to learn.
