[Sussex] We want broadband!

[Angelo Servini]

Sorry Jon

Unless there is a much better reason for having the solwise - Alcatel
are selling an internal PCI, ADSL Modem for about 29 quid inclusive of
postage.  A PCI device should install under Linux pretty easily (i've
also been avoiding USB as it seems a little flaky under Linux at the mo.

Also, could you explain the terminology please - as I'm pretty new at 
this.  Things like: CLI, SNMP, NAT and DSLAM?  Not that i'm straining
NATs?  :D

BTW Thanks for the help.
