FYI: DSL/PPPoA hookup answers here.

Eh, for what it\'s worth......

I have QWEST (formerly US West) DSL service. They use PPPoA/e configuration.

For the Loooongest time (since I was a beta tester for the NA back in APRIL!!) I have been trying to find a modem that will route the PPPoA signal (with VCI/VPI of 0,32) INDEPENDENTLY of the PC

Well.... after 3 DSL modems I found one..

ready?......





wait for it.....


The Speedstreem (Siemens) 5667 works as a standalone DSL modem, without routing to ANYTHING!!! This has saved me from either drilling and running cable through 2 floors of my house or moving my PC to the basement.

I just hook up the modem to the PS2 and then the wall phone jack and POOF--- online baybee!!!

Of course Only the PC or the PS2 can be on at one time but WTFC (-- that\'s Who the F cares--).

Anyway, Just thought I would share.

(BTW, you have to configure (Through a kick ass GUI) the modem on your PC first, and then you can rock)
