A friend of mine has been without an operational telephone for about 10 days now because he ordered Telstra ADSL and Telstra bollocksed the job. >And most importantly, who gives FreeBSD friendly hardware/service? Ha! Ha! (Wipes tears from eyes.) Nobody who sells cable or ADSL in Australia officially supports non-M$ operating systems. As far as I know they even shaft the Mac users. The usual deal is to pretend to be an avid Windoze user while the technician is there, then plug the network into your unix cluster when they've left. The exact details on how to connect from FreeBSD or Linux vary, and I don't currently know any details. Stephen.
