I struggled reading this, I really wanted to help you.. but almost everything you wrote seemed like gibberish to me.
When you sign up with an ISP, they will give you a modem and a couple line filters.. take whichever modem they recommend, just make sure it includes an Ethernet port. Setting things up isn't very difficult, but some details differ between countries.. in the western world you need filters on every line except the one that's connected to the modem, the reverse is common in the Europe IIRC. I can't comment any further, nor do I know the differences between ADSL or ADSL2+.. but it seems unlikely that they would offer you an ADSL-only modem if their infrastructure supports ADSL2+. Telling your ISP that you use a different operating system only serves to confuse sales representatives, they aren't guaranteed to know anything about FreeBSD.. only what the company policies are. If you need further help, please try to explain yourself as clearly as possible. Sorry. |

You can read about splitters in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADSL_splitter and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADSL
The easiest way is to connect the splitter at the spot where the telephone line enters the house/apartment. Here in the Netherlands, most providers offer a Do It Yourself kit to install ADSL. e.g. http://www.xs4all.nl/helpdesk/adsl/s...atel1000sp.php (sorry text is in Dutch). A splitter has three connections:
Can you post links to the models your ISP offers (English please, our Farsi is terrible ) If you can put a ADSL modem/router into bridging mode it usually is no problem to connect it to a Free/Net/OpenBSD firewall.

Thanks BSDfan666 & I'm sorry about my awful language!
--------- J65nko: Thanks for another reply! Those links to wikipedia.org were useful. I don't know Dutch! but it's so beautiful : André Rieu/Ode an Maastricht (I don't know its singer ) and those photos on "Alcatel 1000 LP" was useful too. About the links: There's no EN link inside the IPS site but I find some outside: Company offer a Billion 7300 ADSL Modem Router, as a Wireless/Ethernet Solution But I think they offer a Billion BiPAC 7300G ADSL Modem Router. Because the first isn't wireless! and the second at least have a same figure as they shown in catalogue!!! and have a WLAN standard too! Anyway there's two link to both: Billion 7300 ADSL Modem Router : http://www.myshopping.com.au/SP--150...L_Modem_Router Billion BiPAC 7300G ADSL Modem Router : http://www.myshopping.com.au/SP--145...2_Modem_Router

Some ISP's allow you to lease it from them, adding a monthly cost to your bill.. as for integrated wireless features, if your planning to build a BSD router.. you could obtain a separate PCI wireless card which supports HostAP mode.
As I said, the cheapest model is bridge mode allows you to bypass any built-in routing capabilities.. deferring them all to your own BSD router/gateway, which is a little more involved.. but recommended. |

TNX BSDfan666.
Can I arrange something like that you said above, just by Information from FreeBSD Hand book, or I must study some special Network Books like Andrew S. Tanenbaum Computer Networks? I made a mistake! both MODEM have WLAN standard. sorry.

ADSL2 just uses more bandwidth for the DSL signals. While ADSL1 signals were all ultrasonic, and a telephone user could not hear them, some of the ADSL2 signals are definitely audible.
Installing a central filter is the best way to go, if you can. In my country, (Australia), they must be installed by a licensed cabler, although other countries might have sane laws that allow anyone with basic intelligence to do simple things like this. It is just a matter of following simple instructions. If not, using separate plug-in filters at each telephone works too, and is unlikely to cause problems unless you have a really complex phone system.
