[plug] ADSL plans

[Adam Hewitt]

How can it be "truly" plug'n'play if you need to add your username and
password...and each ISP uses different settings? Unless your ISP
preconfigured it for you in which case your argument is mute.

Oh and the fact that we are subscribed to a Linux user list means that
you don't need plug'n'play products to get them to work...and even my
Cisco 837 was a piece of cake to get working once I had the correct
connection details (kindly supplied by iiNet support)
