[plug] iinet DSL - USB DSL modem under linux?

[Kai]

Howdy Ben,

I have been reading the (A)DSL howto on Linux Australia's home page and 
it appears to be a good guide from start to finish.

http://www.linux.org.au/LDP/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/index.html (sorry for any 
colum wrap).

Once WestNet releases ADSL I'll be getting it too and since we run the 
same system I'll let you know how I go setting it up.

Cheers

Kai
