ADSL problem

[Glen Merrick]

One of the easiest and probably safest things to do whether using
windows or linux is to put a router between you and your adsl
connection, and let the router manage the pppoe connection. They can be
purchased for as little as $50.00 from Staples and allows you to have a
small network behind the ADSL connection.
