[plug] iiNet ADSL experience

[Alan Graham]

Exactly my experience.  I've got the same setup, but (other than direct from
iinet)I've never managed 160kbs download.  I normally get 80 - 90 kbs.  I
reckon that's good enough :-)

BTW, Every day or so, my Alcatel modem 'freezes'.  I have to cycle the power
to the modem to get things going again.  iinet tell me there's a firmware
upgrade to the modem, which they're going to install Real Soon Now(tm).  You
might want to check that your modem is already upgraded.

Last night on a Debian box with an iiNet _STATIC_ IP ADSL account.

Steps to 'temporarily' get it going:
-----------------------------------------------
1. Plug it in (Alcatel ADSL modem) to an ethernet card.
2. ifconfig ethx {ip they give you} netmask {netmask they give you}
3. route add default gw {gateway they give you}

Works perfectly.

1.5 Mbps downstream got me about 160 Kbytes/s
256 Kbps upstream gave out about 26 Kbytes/s

No Roaring Penguin/PPPoE, no authentication, nothing.
