Choosing a modem for freebsd 7.0
Hi,
Okay I am getting ready to purchase an ADSL modem for my FreeBSD 7.0 box and would like to get some recommendations. From what I understand you have to get a modem which is connected to the computer via the ethernet port rather than a USB modem. But I am unsure as to how you configure such a device, do you do it through a web browser? So what do you guys recommend? Thanking you in advance, Jonathan. |

I got a self-install DSL kit (ip, netmask, modem) and researched
enlessly pppoe confs in ppp.conf etc until I accidentally discovered that a simple # ifconfig................ then a # route................ supplanted ppp.conf for that ISP and that Ethernet modem. ................ since history is saved across reboots, I don't even bother yet putting it in rc.conf, just typing #ifc[tab] then #rou[tab] and zsh autocompletes... ...................... |
