unfortunately most DSL's in Canada at least run PPPoE, I assume the
same might be true elsewhere as well, in which case you'll need to
install the PPPoE drivers and configure it
I manage my PPPoE through my router (so other machines can all use the
same DSL line), no need for Linux to be set up, but I assume that the
forum will have how-to's galore on the problem.

Hey guys, thought I'd chime in. I'm new to the Ubuntu world, but have

I can't think of anything you should ask. If its anything like a cable
modem you should be able to just obtain your IP address automatically
via DHCP.

I just got a call from my local public service telephone company whom is
my ISP for my dial up connection. Turns out they are going to be
offering DSl in the next couple of weeks. The lady on the line ask if I
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
