[ale] Bellsouth DSL?

[zeb]

I am using a setup similar to Lance's--PC 486DX2-133, 32 Mb system RAM, 
2 "unknown" NICs (identical), no monitor, no hard drive.  Running Coyote 
Linux 1.31 off a floppy in /dev/fd0 (A).  Tested with Gibson's "Shields 
Up" and several other free testing programs--all tested ports protected. 
  Using ZyXEL modem and Earthlink DSL.  No problems under either 
Slackware 8.1 or Windows 98SE.
