[ale] ADSL PCI cards?

[Mike Millson]

I tried setting up a Traverse Technologies card called Pulsar ADSL. The
modem would not sync. Their tech support was very good, but the
conclusion was that there was an issue interfacing w/ BellSouth. That's
probably how BellSouth wants it.

My lesson learned is that even if you get the card working w/ Linux,
it's a whole other thing to get it to work w/ your ADSL provider. Many
different settings. It was mind boggling. So I crawled back to my
Alcatel 1000 ADSL modem.

It sure would be nice to be able to do this. Let me know if you have
better luck.
