Linux sys as a ADSL router?

How else can you plug your ADSL line into your PC?

In the old days of dial-up, you needed a modem, right? Otherwise you
couldn't connect your PC to your phone line. Well, this is the broadband
equivalent. Either you need an ADSL modem or a cablemodem, but you
definitely need a modem.

You don't need an external one, if that's what you mean. I presume you can
get internal ADSL modems on PCI cards, though I've never looked as I'm on
cable.

As John says, it's easy with Debian. I've used a Debian PC as a router for
ten years.

Hi, Checked my original post and I've forgot to mention that its on a laptop
so there's no audio cable from the DVD/cd to the soundcard. I didn't post
any info as it doesn't give you any, just brings up a unable to play message
with 'no reason' underneath.' I've checked an a Mandriva newsgroup and its
a common prob with some laptops, there's a way around it by using a player,
for example VLC, to open the DVD and play the individual vob files.

I had that problem once. I finally fixed it juggling some /etc file. It was
months later that I looked and found I had the keyboard and mouse in each
other's socket.

PCMCIA card that will work with Debian?

That card is currently classified as redband and currently has no open source
driver. It appears that you will need to use an ndiswrapper to utilize that
card.

On t'other hand, I rescued an old Dell Optiplex from the trash and installed a
USB 2 card in it. The card runs fine at full speed. No problems at all
detecting whatever I plug into it. The machine was built in 1998 and has a
376MHz Pentium II in it. Perhaps the machines you tried really _do_ have
processors that are too slow to run USB 2 cards. Unlikely, but possible.
