[cumbria_lug] Broadband and Linux

[Mark Andrews]

It's quiet apart from the HDD, so and donations for that machine would go
down well.

You're right, Mark; probably still be waiting for delivery of the dish.

I see that BT supply a "Linux-compatible SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL Modem", so
very grateful for any machine that will take this and IPCop or similar.
Hope it's whisper-quiet...

Peter,
I bet you're glad you never went down the satallite route then, hihi!!
I've only got one machine lying around at this moment in time....I'll did
some more out if I can and people are interested. If anyone else is
interested let me know and I'll make a list....I get given stuff often.
Oh and it's usually around 5-600mhz with the usualy gubbins

Our exchange is DSLAMed on 4th May so this is timely; broadband from BT
ordered for 13th May.   Would like to know - is setting up IPCop on one of
Mark's (generously offered) machines fairly straightforward?

.....and if you don't have an old (USB enabled) PC lying around, then give
me a shout as I can donate one for you.

If you've got an old (USB enabled) PC around, I can thoroughly recommend
IPCop. Works a treat here with an old Alcatel 'Frog' modem.
