<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>

Its better if you can get a router, then you don't have to worry about any other module. Plus it gives you more options. If you buy a cheap one-port ethernet router, you can plug a cable into one end of the router, and then the other end into your Linux box, and then use standard TCP/IP setup (available with most installs as an easy set-up getting details from DHCP inside the router). Config of router is web based.<BR>

<BR>
Hello,<BR>
<BR>
We are due to get broadband, out here in the sticks in north Herefordshire,<BR>
by the end of December.<BR>
<BR>
In anticipation I am starting to look around to see what might be needed.<BR>
<BR>
Now does anyone know if the modems that either Tiscali or Wanadoo supply are<BR>
Linux compatible?<BR>
<BR>
If not, have any of you got reliable broadband connections up and running at<BR>
present, with other ISP's. Bearing in mind that this is for private<BR>
purposes and needs to be reasonable.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
<BR>
Noel.<BR>
