:: Hi all
::
:: Theres been a heck of a lot of messages on-list overnight to do
:: with the Ni500.
::
:: I have set one of these up and have it running on a JetStart
:: line 24/7 ATM.
::
:: First up, the Ni500 is a ROUTER. It does not support Pin-Holes,
:: but it does
:: never-the-less support more than 1 client on the LAN.
::
:: Second, it is a "modem" technically as it "modulates" and
:: "demodulates" analog
:: signals (albeit much higher in the frequency range than its
:: cousin the 56k
:: modem). It may be called "DSL" but its still done using Analog
:: technologies -
:: this has been discussed in the list and is in the archives somewhere.
::
:: Third - as it is a ROUTER, it will support MacOS, Windoze,
:: Linux, and pretty
:: much any modern OS that has a working TCP/IP stack.
::
:: Finally - to set it up without a Windoze box you'll need to
:: RTFM, and you'll
:: need some sort of Terminal Emulation software (it comes with a Null-Modem
:: cable). The modem does support TELNET, but I found it to be a
:: pain, as each time
:: you switched off a certian PPP protocol (I forget which) the
:: ethernet port would
:: stop responding. Hence the need for a serial-cable config to
:: save the changes.
::
:: Hope that clears up the confusion over the Ni500.
