I'm mot on the adsl trials, but I was handed some software to look at a few
months ago.
It was PPPoE, so it was a standard ethernet connection to the box, and as
far as I know it hasn't changed.
There was a floppy to set it up for linux as well (and it was a lot less
messy than the windows installation (only thing I had to remember was to
change permissions on one of the files)
