I've got Verizon DSL, Cavtel DSL, T1, had Comca$t, etc. As others have said, once you configure the router (via any web browser) it handles the PPPoE for the network. You have to enter your login info to the router, then hit save. 9.1, 9.3 and 10 will work using the DHCP server in the router. I also had to use the router as a DNS server on every system I have- OSX and Linux. Don't remember about XP...but then that box doesn't go to the web or do email.
It would be the same with any OS.
Things worked fine and were easy to set up. You can handle it.
Of course. ;)
FYI I use another firewall after the supplied router. On one system I have a D-Link, one a Netgear.
I prefer to have a firmware firewall "outside" the 'puter, then SUSE's firewall turned on as well. 'Been wondering if Bastille is better than SUSE's firewall, but haven't had time to check it out.
All the CD does is install (on windows) a browser with their page as the home page.
Ok.......I had assumed that's all it did/does. Verizon, of course, says they don't and won't support Linux. I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll work." :) Fred -- Paid purchaser of ALL SuSE Linux releases since 6.x
