Entering "?" shows a list of router-type commands, but not much help beyond that. I'll fiddle with it later, maybe I can find command line syntax documentation somewhere.
I'm sure I had a complete manual for my Zyxel, the OS even had a name, "zyxos" or something like that.
It's well known that the US sux compared to Europe WRT to ISP service and cost. We basically don't have competition for the home user. The "industry" says, "but of course you have choice". Right. We can choose between cable modem service from one company, and DSL service from the phone company. Oh, we could always run POTS modems if we wanted. What we need is for municipalities to provide/own the last mile physical plant infrastructure, then allow customers to select the ISP of their choice.
Different countries have handled the telecomms liberalisation in different ways. In Switzerland, Swisscom is the national telco with a service-public obligation. Starting more than 10 years ago, anyone who wants can start selling e.g. xDSL connections simply by renting them from Swisscom and having the traffic passed to their own networks for the uplink. For the last 4-5 years we have had municipal fibre networks too, but they also work this way. We also have UPC (formerly Cablecom) and a number of small regional cable operators, but they're private and can do whatever they want. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
