I use an alcatel speedtouch home - you have to use pptp to connect to british adsl connects via ethernet to the linux box works fine, although it does sometimes hang after a few days of use. This is probably something to do with the modem I think I read. I just reset it. dids
This question may well have come up before but there's so much traffic here I don't always keep up......
I've got SuSE 6.4 installation with 2.2.16 kernel which I'm very happy with - mostly used as a server/inet router to a couple of other machines and I'm now on the verge of looking into ADSL equipping it. So I'm after thoughts/opinions on which way to go, specifically:
- which modem's to use, the machine hasn't got usb and i'm keen to avoid these & where to get one (I'm in the UK so needs to be UK compliant)
- should I be upgrading the kernel/and or the whole SuSE installation to a newer flavour (not entirely confident/sure about the effects on trying to just build one of the newer 2.4.x kernel's and shoving it on).
and with all this in mind how difficult is it to do anyway.
cheers.
