If you are not getting the ADSL "modem" from your ISP (which usually means a USB one), you need to buy a device to convert the ADSL to Ethernet http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=89400 is one. A suggestion for a workaround/solution, would be to setup the current PC using Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD to work as a bridge. Google on "ISDN Ethernet bridge " and add in one of the OS's to the search This means you would need another PC to act as the m0n0wall. bad ASCII art ------ +---Bridge--+ +---m0n0---+ +---+ |INet|--|ISDN eth|--|eth eth|--|Hub|--your LAN ------ |card card| |card card| +---+ +-----------+ +----------+ HTH mike |
