Getting DSL from Quest tomorrow, via my ISP.

Got an Actiontec 1524 router-modem from Quest. Will connect it to my
ethernet LAN for one Linux box and one Windows box. Uses PPPoATM and DHCP
from my ISP. Directions seem fairly straightforward for Windows box.

At the moment, both boxes are running dialup accounts, which means ppp0 on
the Linux box is configured for a telephone number, etc.

I've got the linux-atm package installed. I've found pppoatm and can
'insmod' it. I've looked at what literature I could find, and discover
that it all talks about a card DSL modem. Can't translate what I find to
my situation, though; I'm a real newbie at all this, so assume I'm
completely clueless here... <grin>

Question: What changes must I make to get this to work?

Ummm... each machine has a firewall of its own and the DSL router is a
separate subnet from the LAN.

Thanks for any help here!
