[NCLUG] Re: NCLUG Digest, Vol 4, Issue 14

Tue Feb 24 12:41:01 MST 2004

Hello,

I don't know if this is the proper way to reply so if
not please let me know the correct way.  

Joel--I was not able to get any of the Qwest DSL
internal modems to function under Linux.  The best
route I have found is pick up a Cisco 675 or Cisco 678
on eBay or ???  They are DSL Routers that Qwest uses
and there are plenty out there for cheap.  Just make
sure the one you buy is not password protected and
comes with the cables (unless you have some Cisco
cables laying around).

Good Luck
Tim
