	Yes, ADSL rocks. :)

	If you are going to serve (via ip-masqing) other machines on the
network, dont forget to change the MTU of the clients to 1412.... If you
dont then net access will be slow/non-functional/ok in spurts etc

	Have fun! You with telstra?

	Just letting people know that my ADSL server was setup today and
within 10mins
	of the guy leaving I had it working under linux too ;) BTW, that
10mins
	included a kernel recompile to add support for the supplied SMC EZ
10/100
	network card (really a rtl8139).

	The rp-pppoe package is really great. It even includes a script that
asks a
	bunch of questions and handles all necessary config changes.

	Now I guess comes the real test - performance :) And just in time
for the
	gnome-1.4 release too!


	Regards,

	Jason Nicholls
