Yes it would. But untill Telecom feels like allowing others on the ADSL
network I have to get what I am given. They talked about November 1 but it
looks like it will be March or even later. I have to get this going now and
the 3060 is a piece of crap that only has windows/NT/2000 drivers as far as I
can find. The guy that developed tha drivers for the 3010 has not been able to
get the full spec for the 3060 to allow hime to develop a new driver of this
card.

But I am making progress, small steps.
