We have had thoughts about ADSL. At present we are still experimenting with Smoothwall.
Ugh. Smoothwall has had a bad taste since its project lead went beserk at me. I tend towards IPcop for standalone and shorewall on machines with full distributions on, myself.
Trialling 'smoothy' on a Rockwell serial modem has been a pain though. In fact modems and Linux seem to be a pain altogether, I have to say. (Polite suggestions welcome on this BTW).
There's still no substitute for getting the correct settings from your ISP. That said, wvdial has worked fairly well for me when people have been unsure. MJR
