RE: Linux and ADSL

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

2.4.x+iptables
man iptables

if you need an example script that I'm using for firewall/NAT on 5 statics,
I can supply that.  Get the statics, pppoe is a bastard child that never
should have been allowed to live.

Same situation. 
Flets ADSL is the service ntt-east provides. I have to only buy or rent the
modem from them. They say the cdrom they provide with the modem includes
Linux support. The modem is ethernet modem which utilizes pppoe.
I plan to use Infosphere for isp. They provide static ip address of 1 or 8. 
There are broadband router they(Infosphere) recommend. But small number of
them supports 8 ip address. So I want to use old notebook for broadband 
linux router that can do ip address translation for my liking. But, I don't 
know how.
