Bt have just announced that my local exchange is to be upgraded to offer =
broadband services. Does anybody have broadband ADSL set up using linux =
or more especially, IPCOP? My current set up is IPCOP dials the internet =
via 56k modem and I hang my other machines off a hub using ethernet =
NICS. If I get broadband, am I looking at using a WIND-DOZE machine to =
hook up to broadband via the ADSL card and perhaps subnetting my =
internal network and putting the ipcop firewall between the win doze =
ADSL machine and the rest of my lan?
