I mailed Demon helpdesk to ask about non-Windows /Mac OSes but they weren't
helpful. The FAQ mentions that BT will install a router/modem device which
surely should be configured like any other router, thus you could tell Linux
that it is your default route and off you go?
I'd be interested in using ASDL via Solaris at work but without any helpful
pointers from Demon, I have no intention of installing it.

It's a shame the helpdesk take this approach, whatever happened to Neil
'freebsd' McRae (sp?)
