\u00a0PPPoA:<\/b>\u00a0You may be one of the lucky few whose BSP uses this protocol.\u00a0 If you’re also using a 3Com Dual Link ADSL modem, then you’ll definitely want to read\u00a0Brian Barrera’s story<\/a><\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n

There are only a few routers that will handle this protocol. The\u00a02Wire 1500C & CW<\/a><\/b>\u00a0are two of them. [Thnx Eric!]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0If you have a DSL modem with a USB connection, you won’t be able to use a\u00a0<\/b>separate\u00a0hardware router, and will have to use the software sharing method, or get a combination DSL modem\/router.\u00a0\u00a0Go here<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>for an explanation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

September 2001
\nDraytek informed us that they are conducting trials with\u00a0BellSouth<\/b>\u00a0and that the trials are going well.\u00a0 It’s possible that the Vigor2200USB could be offered as on option with\u00a0BellSouth ADSL service<\/b>\u00a0that uses a USB ADSL modem.<\/span><\/p>\n

May 2001
\nDraytek<\/b>‘s recently introduced\u00a0Vigor2200USB<\/a><\/b>, slated to start shipments to European customers in September, supports the\u00a0Alcatel SpeedTouch USB ONLY<\/b>. The company is considering adding more DSL modems to the list, but has\u00a0no plans to offer the product in the US<\/b>, but just for\u00a0E.C. residents only!<\/b>\u00a0 If you’d like to try to change their opinion, contact them at\u00a0sales@draytek.com.tw<\/a>!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0If you have an internal DSL modem, you won’t be able to use a hardware router, and will have to use the software sharing method.\u00a0<\/b>Reason is that the internal modem connects to your computer directly and a hardware router needs to connect to a broadband modem via an Ethernet connection.<\/span><\/p>\n
