I just got a call from my local public service telephone company whom is

wanted to get DSL and I said heck yes (I pay 21.95 for dial up and DSL
is 39.95)

She ask what which version of windows do I have and I told her I did not
have window, but linux. There was this silence on the other end of the
phone for a bit, then she ask: Is the like an Apple computer? I guess
she had never heard of linux! Well I do live way out in the country.

So anyway a couple of weeks from now I will go down and pick up my dsl
modem. I have already google about dsl set up as I wanted know any thing
I ask before I go down. Looks Like I need to ask if I have to use a
specific IP address.

Is there anything other configuration questions I should ask when I go
down to pick up my dsl modem?

Thanks

The IP address for you modem. It will usually be something like
192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 - this will be needed to access the web
interface for configuring your modem, as clearly you won't be using
the Windows-only (and usually supremely bad) software interface for
it. Beyond that you just visit http://that.IP after plugging into
your modem and poke around.
