Well I'm happily using Internode ADSL which is rebadged Telstra ADSL 
under OS/2 - but I'm using a router now

You need a modem that connects via the ethernet port :) USB or PCI 
ADSL modems won't work in OS/2

Yeah - haven't used the eCS 1.1 PPPoE client yet - but have used the 
PPPoE client that's included in Injoy Firewall.

Make sure you get an ethernet ADSL modem - Routers can also make life 
easier if you have multiple PCs...

Billion ADSL modem/router are quite cheap from www.pcrange.biz

Oh - and other providers offer a far better deal than Telstra for ADSL
- check out www.broadbandchoice.com.au

Paul.
