Your best bet would be to look at Linksys's product line. They have a 4 port
and a 8 port router/hub/firewall combo for DSL and Cable modems. The 4 port
device allows you to connect up to 254 devices to 1 DSL line. (Obviosuly, by
casdcading Hubs off of one another.) To configure the box simply requires a
browser, it is not OS specific.

Subject: ADSL Network
Hello Good People:
I hope everyone is still having a very good Christmas holiday. I guess I
am because I got the present for my October birthday just in time for
Christmas. My ADSL was hooked up a little over a week ago. Now I'd like
to network all my computers together including sharing the ADSL. What I
have is a Compaq Presario 700 mhz Celeron with Windows ME and an
internal TI ADSL LAN adapter on Ameritech (Prodigy) DSL, a 566 mhz
Celeron generic computer and a 486DX50 and a couple of printers, a
flatbed scanner and a digital camera.
I've noticed that I can get 10/100 tx PCI nic's for $4 and up and 10/100
tx 5 port hubs for $35 and up. I've also heard that the best firewall OS
is OpenBSD and I'm currently running Red Hat 6.2, waiting for 7.2 to be
released. Since I'm so new to all this, I'd like to get a little advice.
What I want is a Linux network connected via a hub to Windows boxes and
Red Hat X.2 boxes connected to ADSL through a Linux firewall (or
ipchains). Ok people, I'm sitting down and got my seatbelt on so let me
have it. What is wrong with this setup and what would you do, you don't
need to be gentle.
Thank you and Happy New Year.
