Hello, everyone. I posed a question some time ago regarding the state of DSL in the UK. Here in the US, it is being rolled out at quite a pace, and there is a growing trade in after-market DSL routers. These include the likes of the Cisco 675 which is a simple yet very complete DSL->Ethernet router with built in NAT etc, and devices such as the Linksys one which incorporate the DSL router and a 4 port ethernet hub. Is it not possible to buy the external router from the likes of Micro Warehouse and use it with the lower priced service ? Just because BT sends out a wholly unsuitable device, does that mean you absolutely have to use it ? I really like the Cisco 675 I have. It has worked brilliantly for well over a year now. Bye for now, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: suse-linux-e-return-53630-stuart=yorkshirepudding.com@lists.suse.com [mailto:suse-linux-e-return-53630-stuart=yorkshirepudding.com@lists.suse .com]On Behalf Of Phil Shrimpton Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 7:18 PM To: Jonathan Riddell; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: RE: [SLE] ADSL with BT

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if SuSE 7.1 should work with ADSL from BT in Britain?
If you have or get the Business1000 package or above, the ADSL modem comes with an Ethernet connection, which is no problem to use with any OS. If you have or get the Home500 or Business500 you get an Alcatel USB ADSL modem. <snip>
