[plug] Weird FD0 problem...

[Jeffery Wong]

Hey Beau and PLUGGERS

I knew I'd seen you in Curtin b4. (Beau)
Anyways, some of you were talking about your experiences with ADSL during
the last PLUG meeting.
Telstra has responded and I will be getting my ADSL done up on Tuesday.
(yaaayyy !)
Anyways..... a few questions.

1) Do I really really have to have a legitimate copy of Windows for them?
2) I will be putting in on my Debian gateway box after Telstra leaves
(what's new :-}) Any pointers to start me off? I have never had any
experiences with ADSL. Right now my gateway is talking to the outside world
on 56K.
3) Some of you were saying that lowering the MTU rate would speed up
connections or something.

Please advice and all advices greatly appreciated,

-Jeff-

Btw, 'Samba' is now 'Lexus'.

many different version of unix:

Ark: It is redhat 6.2 on P-III 650
moses: it is redhat 6.2 on P-II 450
samba: I think it is freebsd on some rather large machine.

plus many many many others :-)

Saying too much
