[COLUG] SBC DSL

[Greg Sidelinger]

I believe SBC (ameritech) is using the speedstream 5100 dsl modem right now.  
Which has a very simple web interface for programming the pppoe username and 
password. Their SBC cd does it for you automatically but if  you go to 
http://192.168.0.1 (ip and login on bottem of modem) then you can program it 
without that crap.  It will then pass a real (not private ip) though dhcp to 
a single computer behind it though its ethernet jack. If you get a westtell 
modem then your linux computer needs to have a pppoe client to do the 
authenication. If you get the 5 static ip package ask for a netopia router 
with can either do routed or nat with your ips.
