I have a circa 1998 Tiny PC, very low powered though I have replaced the
1 gig harddrive with a 50GB one and upped the memory a bit. I'd like to
run DSL on it, currently running mepis lite which is OK but still a bit
slow. However the PC has no ethernet card and no card slots, I am using
a sitecom USB ethernet adapter and unfortunately DSL does not recognize
this device.
Does anyone know how I could get DSL to run this device?
Thanks
Simon
