Hi Ken, Is this workable solution with voice? If so it looks great, I can put a 3nics on linux.
Wanted to know if there are any restrictions on the cisco 827-4v, as the adsl interface is the one which is supposed to be the default out(to internet). In this case there will be another network between the router and Link eth0. Anand also suggested something close to this(like putting a switch), but I don't want to buy and see that it doesn't work. regards, Dinesh. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Foskey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 12:09 PM To: slug Subject: Re: [SLUG] dsl and networking.

It is not a problem to put three network cards into a linux router / firewall box: router ------------> Linux eth0 cable -------------> Linux eth1 private network <--- Linux eth2 Of course you could get a dsl card for Linux and go directly in. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
