Hej Leonard!

Leonard Erickson -> Udo Zaydowicz, 09.06.2000: "ADSL in LAN"

Ah, now I understand, what was meant, when the service line was talking about 
"ADSL-modem" and "interface card".

Yes, not a good idea.

 LE> The best way to deal with this is to set up a system as a

That is what I'm going for.

Thanks a lot!



Farvel, Udo!
