[olug] Alltell / Windstream and a new DSL modem...

[James Ringler]

I have Sangoma ADSL cards running in Vyatta 514 firewall/router/vpn
appliances on our networks with DSL.  Works flawlessly. (as long as they
don't change your PPPOE password)

The card costs about $130.  Vyatta and spare pc = free.

Then you don't need the speedstream modem at all.
