Do I: - get a PCI USB card, and do they work with Linux? get a ADSL-Ethernet router and how much extra do they cost? get a higher spec PC, with a USB port?Get an ADSL router. Arround 120, plug and play, full speed, and you can sell the P90 on ebay for 50. If you dont want the cost, then get a USB card - which I believe should work (check before buying using google.com/linux). Ethernet is 1,000,000,000,0000,000000000000000000000000000000,0,0,0,000,0,0,,000 times better A higher spec PC is pointless for a router.
Ok, I did some reading: - PCI ADSL Modem - Least heavy on resources Ethernet ADSL Modem - Not much worse USB ADSL Modem - Heaviest on resources Until I find a driver for a PCI Modem, I think I'll go for Ethernet (You even get a free hub with them, so that can't be bad) As for the P90, I might use that for my next project, a Web terminal, saw a 'How to' which explains pretty much what I want.
