[ale] DSL Router Distro

[Douglas Bridges]

OK, I think both of you mis-read his email.  He wants to know what *distro* 
has DSL routing functions, not which router.  Robert, it really depends on 
what protocol you are connecting to DSL with.  Since you are asking about DSL 
ID and password, I am guessing that you are talking about PPPOE.  Roaring 
penguin is very good PPPOE software, and it is included in Redhat and 
Mandrake.  I am sure that other distros use it as well, but I would probably 
suggest Mandrake if you don't want to putz around with anything.
