The fcdslsl driver in portage was not that advanced by then I guess. |

Quality of softmodems depends on the drivers .. if you use crappy |
| 8 |
drivers you get disconnects every half an hour .. |

The disadvantage of my external modem is that it has a router and some |
| 11 |
other things included which I cant use(only one ethernet |
| 12 |
port+passwordprotected by provider), its another box in the crowded |
| 13 |
computer-room and it nevertheless needs an ethernet-card in the |
| 14 |
computer. I am almost sure power consumption does also matter for that |
| 15 |
extra 24/7 box. |

So everything form AVM has gone to "cheap broken stuff", because you |
| 26 |
were not able to set up your dsl-card? Please give us some moer |
| 27 |
examples .. I think they are actually pretty cool, especially the new |
| 28 |
fritzboxfons. |

What pppoe-based DSL modem? Is it an usb-one that needs special |
| 33 |
drivers? Or just one of the ethernet-connected that works |
| 34 |
out-of-the-box? |
