[ale] Bellsouth DSL?

[lance crocker]

I have an old pc ^^mhz uped to 75mhz, 12mb ram, 2 NICs, vga card, and a
floppy for the OS. I am runnig coyote linux on it. The whole thing runs off
the floppy no HDD needed.

Has anybody had any experience with this? Anything gone wrong?

Lance

It does cable, dsl or even dialup. :)

I have BellSouth DSL and am using a Linksys BFSX41 router (or something like
that). I put my Westell aDSL modem into bridge mode, and my router is the
PPOE client towards BellSouth.  Do a quick google on Broadband Forums,
that's
where I got good information on setting up my Linksys (and my Netgear before
I switched to Linksys).

As far as my Mandrake PC (with Apache) is concerned, it's pure Ethernet. If
you are using DSL and want outside access to your servers, you can use
DynaDNS to provide a dynamic hostname and port-forwarding to get you to your
server.

What kind of router are you using? Will it provide NAT and firewall
functionality?
