[NTLUG:Discuss] SWBell DSL

[Steve Egbert]

For the Linux community, the ONLY viable setup regarding DSL drops is to
use an EXTERNAL modem having Ethernet connection.

However, we here at Efficient Network are working rapidly to develop an
internal DSL PCI drivers to meet the demand.  I wish I can say when but
it is most likely within a quarter or two.

I strongly recommend that one asks for an external DSL modem when
placing your DSL drop order.
