Did I just coin that term? It only does DMT line encoding, that means you are using DMT. So you would have to get a Cisco 678. > Are there any modems > compatible with Qwests equipment and Linux in the poor > college student price range? - Or..would anyone know how to > make the 3200 get along with Linux? I'd like to hear your > suggestions. I know that if you go with MSN, who gets the line from Qwest, they give you a Arsecom NetDSL 800. I have no idea if you can get those on the open market or what the prices are, but it leads me to believe you can use other routers with the Qwest line. The router just has to support DMT line encoding and either PPP or RFC 1483 bridging, which ever your provider uses. Like Jay said, there are no drivers for Linux for the Intel 3200, probably never will be. I know this doesn't answer your questions exactly, but should give you a good place to start. -- Bret Baptist Systems and Technical Support Specialist bbaptist at iexposure.com Internet Exposure, Inc. http://www.iexposure.com (612)676-1946 x17 Web Development-Web Marketing-ISP Services ------------------------------------------ Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.
