Anyone using BellSouth's DSL or Cable service with Linux? I just saw saw where I can get a decent connection for $5.00/mo more than I'm paying for Earthlink dial-up. But their site says Win/Mac - and nothing about Linux! I understand I'll probably have to hook myself up, but - sheesh! - they could at least mention the requirements for a Linux system.
I am using it happily since about a year on a pure linux box. They sent me the WireSpeed (Westell) modem which I could simply put in bridged mode using its web interface and voila I had a broadband connection. Make sure that you use the ethernet link rather than the USB. I believe the latter was not well supported under linux and still might have issues. Best regards, Alex.
