I am looking to find people who are using either a PCI xDSL card or an USB xDSL modem right now under Linux. I am not entirely sure where I should go look to find people who do this, but they definitely exist now that there are drivers for several modems. Specifically I am interested in performance and latency. When using an ethernet connected xDSL modem, you obviously get the ethernet latency for transmitting the packet and you need to limit your send speed to something below the actual link speed to own the queue. The ethernet latency is largely insignificant, but owning and having exact control over the send queue is intriguing. So, if anyone has any input on the matter or knows where I might look further, I would be very interested to know.

First, I''m new to Linux and firewalls, and newer still to this mailing list (2nd day receiving it). I am a member on the IPCops.net BBS, and I do see quite a few questions about installing broadband modems. It seems that even thou support for connecting to a DSL modem via USB port is getting better, the same support is not there as it is for an ethernet connection. If you go to www.ipcops.net, and post a question in the SUPPORT FORUMS > Miscellaneous Forums> Linux in General section there may be a couplepeople that can help with the information, and maybe in the DEV FORUM as well. You may want to try LinuxQuestions.org as well. Mike (a.k.a. AWEV) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
