Hello Can anyone tell me about ADSL modems for linux? I would like to use an old pentium with linux to share an internet connection (ADSL). I understand there are plenty of routing applications out there, but can they "dial" an internal adsl modem? Does linux support pci adsl modems? Thanks in advance Daniel
