hi all
i have a question requarding if its possible to do this with dsl
i currently run slackware10.2 (current)/ slamd64 10.2(current) with a 2.6.14.5 kernel.

my hardware is an
amd64 procesor
nvidia NF4 mboard
audiovox xv6600 pocket pc (verizon wireless)

now i use the PPC as a modem to get my linux box connected to the internet and here is how i do it

in kernel i select this one of 2 ways (Y) or (M)
/device drivers/usb support/usb serial convert support/usb pocket pc pda driver

if i select as (Y) i edit this file.
/usr/src/linux-2.6.14.5/drivers/usb/serial/ipaq.c
i add this line " { USB_DEVICE(0x0BB4, 0x00CF) }, /* HTC USB Sync */"

if i select the module in the kernel as (M) i add this to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.11/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.11/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ipaq.ko vendor=0x0BB4 product=0x00cf

ok that is so the "ipaq" module gets loaded (either way works fine been doing it for quite a while)

next thing i do is this
'pppsetup'
and i run through all the dialogues and pick what i need

ok one last thing i do is this
i create a file called "/etc/ppp/peers/provider" and inside that file is this info:
noauth
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v '' 'ATDT#777'"
debug
/dev/ttyUSB0
115200
defaultroute
silent
modem

note my pocket pc is running a small app called wmodem and it lets me pick how i want to connect. through irda, bluetooth and usb....i use usb

ok now when i want to connect here is what i do (note pocketpc is in modem mode already and is in usb mode in its cradle connected to my linux box)
i type "pppd file /etc/ppp/peers/provider" and BOOM
im connected to net and all is working well

now my Q is this to my knowledge that "/usr/src/linux-2.6.14.5/drivers/usb/serial/ipaq.c" and ipaq.h files werent added till kernel 2.6?

what i want to do is run DSL any version that will let me connect to the net

can someone explain in detail how i will be able to use dsl (iso) and connect to net

thnx
