Every DSL device I've seen in years - including the free ones ISPs hand out to new customers - has just been a router with an ethernet port. The device itself takes care of the DSL part - you just need to plug in your PC, and do whatever you'd normally do for an ethernet device. > --q3: Can MetworkManager be configured to manage adsl(modems)/adls2- > modems(thingies) and if so how so particularly for the latter? > --q4: Can ModemManager blfs-listed as an optional dependency of > NetworkManager be configured for adsl(modem)/adls2 modems(thingies) and if > so > how so ? If it's an ethernet device, then forget about the "modem" bit - it's not relevant. It's just an ethernet router that talks to the internet over a phone line... NetworkManager can deal with it fine, or just use the standard LFS networking scripts. ModemManager is generally relevant only for mobile-broadband devices... > --q5: What is the recommended installation procedure ( including deps) for > ModemManager (Blfs style) ? The same as any other package, I guess? Configure, make, make install... install anything else that configure complains about being missing. But you probably don't need it. Simon.
