[SLE] SuSE + ADSL & BellAtlantic
Anyone using SuSE with a ADSL modem connected to Bell Atlantic? I have heard some phone companies are using Microsoft's VPN which isn't compatible with the unix standard so users are forced to use Microsoft products. A fellow at the local linux users group said he was forced to pay an additional $24.00 a month for a static ip address in order to use something other than windows. I am not interested in paying a penalty to use something other than windows. My first preference would be to continue using an os/2 box with the In-joy firewall, because it works well and is really easy to use, but if that is not compatible with Microsoft's VPN, using a SUSE box would be my next choice. If neither work then I probably will not get ADSL as I do not want to pay a monthly penalty fee because I do not want to use windows. Is anyone using BellAtlantc's ADSL with linux , using the unix version of VPN? thanks in advance, joe -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I thought Bell Atlantic was using PPPoE? If so PPPoE runs fine under Linux [better then under windows IMHO] Try asking on comp.dcom.xdsl I'm sure I've seen a few posts from Bell Atlantic customers.
