If you are going to use the net for long hours with a lot of surfing, please re-evaluate your decision for free 250 MB downloads per month. The combo scheme is for light users only.

The ADSL modem that comes with triband has USB as well as Ethernet support. The usb part needs windows drivers but the ethernet part uses DHCP so you simply have to let your linux nic be set to dhcp.

Not neccessary to have dhcp. U can have a static ip on your nic. I have ordered a triband connection with dsl 499 nu plan. Let see how it pans out. My experience with two other triband connections has been excellent so far. Down time has been near zero - last outage during MSEB megatrip. Although the adsl signal led indicated adsl ok there was no connection. A modem warm boot sorted the problem. In contrast tata adsl 128kbps unlimited service is erratic, with access slower than a dialup quite often.
