Since nothing has ever been posted here, I thought I'd break the ice.
I notice alot of people don't have much of an idea on how DSL can be setup in linux. So I'll try and shed a little light 
As far as I know, all DSL out there uses pppoe for it's connection. Alot of the time the DSL modems out there can do NAT and act as a router. In this case, you don't need to do anything but give your machine an IP and plug it into the LAN. However, if you want to setup your box to handle the connection and such, you'll need to install some software and such.
However, it's not all that hard... Especially if your running debian.
apt-get install ppp pppoe pppoeconf
The pppoeconf command will basically ask the questions such as username/password and set everything up for you, and once your done your all set.
If your running another dist, check out http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/ |
