How to set up usb adsl modem in Linux?
Hi, I am trying to setup a home network that can share my adsl connection using Linux. I have a usb adsl modem, but I dont have a router. Hence I would like to make use of my old Pentium to act as a firewall/router, by running Linux. The Pentium machine doesnt have a harddisk.
Visually, here is what i want to do:
(phone line)======[usb adsl modem]=======[old pentium PC]=========[hub]===[PCs]
My question is,
- is there any tiny Linux distro that I can run it off my old Pentium FLOPPY drive (i dont really want to invest any $$ for a new hdd)
- I have a Aztech USB adsl modem. Does linux support this modem?
- Assuming, I have all setup, can Linux automatically login to the ADSL service the moment i turn on my old Pentium machine? In windows, i need to physically click the 'connect' button, with login/password entered.
Really appreciate some advice and suggestions. Thanks in advance.
