>You will need a GNU/Linux system with a kernel having PPP support pre-compiled.
|
|
I have tested that both the 2.4.29 kernel and the 2.6.x series kernel work fine. Performance seems to be better using a 2.6.x kernel.
|
|
If you see that some kernel modules are missing then configure and recompile
|
|
the kernel with PPP support.</P

>I built my cable myself. I used a CAT 5 cable which has four pairs of UTP
|
|
copper. CAT 5 cable is the same cable which is used for networking your system
|
|
to a LAN. While you can use any type of cable, CAT 5 will assure a good quality of the signal that is sent over the wire. A typical configuration looks like this:</P
