Hi there,

In keen anticipation for ADSL supplied by Demon - There are a number of
access packages available. I'd like to get hold of the Ethernet version -
which from what I've heard isn't going to be likely for my requirements (1
real IP address - basic package) - it looks likely Demon (i.e. BT) will have
to sell me the USB version.

This I imagine incorporates a DSL modem and a router - to be attached to
only over USB.

My ageing RH7 Gateway machine - is a P60 with 2xPCI and 5xISA slots (I
think). All my I/O cards are ISA at present - thought there's a couple of
PCI slots which I think still work.

Can anyone recommend me an ISA or PCI USB I/O card - there's none native on
the motherboard to use. RH7.0 claims it supports a USB Stack - though much
of it is experimental.

I'd rather go through the USB integration pain into linux before I get a DSL
set up installed (if that _ever_ happens).

Anyone been through this loop before ?

J0e
