Yup, I can vouch for that. Even with Windows I've had problems with USB
modems. I can recommend the Zoom X3 ADSL modem + gateway + router. Sixty quid
from PCWorld. I got it working in minutes with SuSE & IPCOP. It took a little
longer to work out the half bridging mode. Got there in the end. If you have
a static address, use this mode to get the address assigned to the Red NIC:
makes setting up VPN under IPCOP/SmoothWall easier.
