Isn't AOL's Broadband just TW RR with AOL Access etc...? So I'm sure you'll just connect the router to the cable modem then login to your AOL desktop (tell it to use your LAN and not your modem?). Not sure if the cable modem will require a username/password like a DSL modem. I think all the new routers will let you enter your username/password for PPoE connections.

I'd still feel more comfortable if someone could tell me that they had actually used such a thing (linux or dedicated) with AOL's broadband service. I'm a bit worried that AOL will do something to screw it up. ap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
