Everest Residential Service

[Hall, Tony, JCW]

I have a D-Link Wireless router plugged into my SBC DSL
(external,speedstream)modem and service 4 'puters.. 192.168 etc.. All
configured by your browser so the operating system on your 'puter is
irrelevant, has built in PPPOE... If you have an internal DSL modem you're
screwed if you want to run Linux on that machine. I had the internal modem
that SBC supplied, ask for an external. Even in my old BBS days (I kinda
miss those days..LOL! 12mhz XT, 32meg RLL drive, Amber Mono monitor, Supra
24baud modem... 3 mail networks and, Remote Access, and for the life of me
can't remember the mail front end I used..) I ONLY used external... Ended up
buying an external from the SBC online store.

I have SBC DSL in Raytown, MO.  SBC was having server problems when I
finally got the modem so I couldn't activate it for 2 days.  Other than
that, no problems.  It is a 2Wire external DSL modem/firewall/router.  I'm
not quite sure how many PCs you can plug in at once (I only have 4).  Of
course it assigns IP addresses and even lets you select the range (10. 172.
or 192.)  I does have a provision to bypass all that stuff and just be a
modem to one PC.  I haven't tried that yet.  One big problem I can see is it
seems to be very comfortable with Micro$oft and doesn't know anything about
Linux.

I'm sure I'll be using my Linksys router to share the connection, if
possible.  Those DSL modems are internal arent they...dang.  It would be
ideal if the DSL modem was external with a ethernet connect going to my
router.  Hmm...I'll have to look into that.  But yeah...I'll totally need
some help.  I've never looked at pppoe before.  Thanks for the offer, I'm
sure I'll take you up on that.
