Subject: [9fans] adsl via pptpd
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2001 07:10:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011027071057.A280@xs4all.nl> (raw)

It has been a while since I last posted/read to this list
and since then I have obtained adsl service through xs4all
here in the Netherlands.

In order to do that I use an ethernet card and an isdn modem.
Some of the configuration details to do this on Linux are posted
below. Will this hardware setup work with Plan9? Which files
would have to be changed in Plan9 to make the connection?
