If you already have a hub based LAN then you should have the whole of the
picture from the hub to the right hand side. Its just a matter of plugging
the hub in, pointing the PC's TCPIP settings to the DHCP server on the M10
and you're away. (Oh and restart networking on the PC's - windoze users
read resart the whole os, others can do it without a reboot)

Subject: ADSL install

At an install of ADSL today in Auckland the installer informed me that if I
wanted to use ADSL via an M10 on all the machines on the network (3 p.c's
running from a hub 10Base T), I would need to add an extra network card to
each machine in the network.

After picking myself up from the ground, the installer and I came to an
agreement, that he swap the modem for one that works and I would stop
crying and flooding the building.

P.S
I do not know much about ADSL, but always will to learn.
