[Sussex] Just a bit of news

[Mike Diack]

Not knowing a router's role etc (shame on me), can you give advice:
- Did you have to buy one - or would that come as part of their signup 
package?
- Is it required.

(Am currently using BT Anytime dialup on WinXP/Mandrake 10 and though I'm a 
computer whizkid - I know very little about ethernet/ADSL).

Yes, I have had Gentoo running @ 512k without interruption since last xmas.
The only downside is that though their help is good, you can only have it
during office hours (mind you I have only had the occasion to call them
once!).

I use a SAR130 router with its built in firewall, and once that was set up
ok.  Linux setup needed only an edit to the relevant config file.  To
recognise eth0 (generic 10/100 ethernet card) to access the internet.
