Quality of softmodems depends on the drivers .. if you use crappy drivers you get disconnects every half an hour .. The disadvantage of my external modem is that it has a router and some other things included which I cant use(only one ethernet port+passwordprotected by provider), its another box in the crowded computer-room and it nevertheless needs an ethernet-card in the computer. I am almost sure power consumption does also matter for that extra 24/7 box. > I can only imagine the horrors of getting the others to work :-) no horrors here .. was actually pretty easy ebuild /path/to config sets everything up. > No thanks.

Please give us some moer examples .. I think they are actually pretty cool, especially the new fritzboxfons. > I still have a fcdslsl and an external pppoe-based DSL modem lying > around for any interested devs. What pppoe-based DSL modem? Is it an usb-one that needs special drivers? Or just one of the ethernet-connected that works out-of-the-box? Regards, Stefan -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
