Silvertones,

As far as I am aware, as long as you have a modem/router that you can setup under Linux,that's all you need.

I was really impressed the first time I installed Ubuntu (ver 7.10). All I did was install, and it found the network connection and set it up. Since the modem had been installed using Windows, it was already net-ready (password, gateway, etc.). Ubunutu saw all this and got me straight on once I provided the password. My experience is that modem/routers have a URL address and, as long as you have Firefox or equivalent, you'll be able to get to it.

I have been running Ubuntu since 2007 and it always installs easily with the network. Like you, I always check out the different hardware for compatibility.

If you know someone who has the DSL that you talk about, why not ask them if you can try a LiveCD on their computer?

All the best,
Noel
