hi,

ADSL usually uses ethernet at the local end - so you'll need a PCMCIA
ehternet card , or the Mediator PCI busboard and a supported PCI ethernet
card if theres ever a driver for them (the PCI cards in question)
Miami will also be needed for DHCP

yes, why are your transmissions 2x the receive? Surely they'd want people to
be able to receive more than they can transmit (to make it a better
experience) or do they want evereyone to start abusing the service as a
server paradise? ;-)
2ndly, the speeds do look a bit low...are they doing a 'BT' on this ADSL
issue....releasing normal ADSL later and calling it 'ADSL+' or something and
charging more for it?
anyway, the higher the bandwidth the better.
NTL (in Brighton, UK) have just mailer all users of their systems...yep, we
get internet through our cable boxes now...nope! not the wonderful Cable
Modem service that I've been asking for, but crappy 'Web and Mail' on the TV
- duh!!!
