One of my closest friends is a manager at freeDSL. You may have some
significant problems getting the DSL service to work w/o that nasty banner
program running. It apparently attempts to connect to a well known VC and
if the circuit is not present, you don't get DSL service. There's more
than just circuit presence but beyond that I can't say.

Best of luck.
