<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I dumped a Siemens 4200 ADSL (from BigPond), it was a really cheap and not so good (to say the least) modem. It had a proprietary F/W and I could not find a way to update it, I think it's really not supported anymore or there was no F/W for Australia (if I remember correctly). I think it's better to buy your own modem, lots of options not expensive these days.<div><br></div><div>Fred<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 11/22/10, David Buddrige <i><dbuddrige@bigpond.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: David Buddrige <dbuddrige@bigpond.com><br>Subject: [plug] Linux Friendly Broadband ISP's<br>To: plug@plug.org.au<br>Date: Monday, November 22, 2010, 1:57 PM<br><br><div id="yiv320575813">
Hi all,<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding Linux friendly ISP's for Broadband in Perth northern suburbs?<br>
<br>
I'm looking to get [preferably] ADSL2+ service - where my house is would connect to the Girrawheen Exchange.<br>
<br>
I'm considering going with Optus - [so I can bundle my mobile-phone if possible.<br>
<br>
Looking at the Optus website, they seem to supply [standard] a Siemens 4200 ADSL Home Modem with their default plans - has anyone got any experience connecting these up to a linux box?<br>
<br>
Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
thanks in advance all,<br>
<br>
David Buddrige. 8-)
