Hi
After more than 13 years of using dial-up to connect to Internet I am planning right now to use ADSL and I am searching right now for the best ADSL modem that support Linux very good.
I don't need an expensive one , I want it to be fast modem and support Linux .
I hope it doesn't support windows :)
Instead of searching for the right ADSL modem, you should be searching for the right ADSL provider.
The right ADSL provider will give you an external ADSL modem with a standard 10Base-T port, and all you need to do is plug a cat-5 cable into the modem, and any Linux-supported network card (of which there's no shortage of choice). You will also not required to screw around with PPPoE, or any similar nonsense.
I recommend Speakeasy, after five years, and two different circuits. They are more expensive then the garden variety âhere's some convoluted ADSL PCI card, and here our XP-only drivers, loaded with spyware and other garbageâ ADSL providers. If you call for technical support and tell them you run Linux they will probably be able to help you; if not, they still won't react as if you grew a third eye on your forehead.
