[ale] HOW2 install BellSloth DSL for Linux ?

[Justin Haygood]

0. The Static IP is free for DSL Xtreme 3.0+ customers
1. Their
modems are both Ethernet and USB
2. The modem does the NAT, easy to
disable. I'd rather get a rotuer have that do the PPPoE (My Belkin 54g
router does it at my house)
3. No need for PPPoE on client..
dedicated machines are better.. less CPU usage.

this up for a client (on HellSouth near Conyers).
