I am with Clara & I had to pay them £25 for the privilege of a static IP
address. www.adslguide.org.uk probably will tell yopu which suppliers will
offer this option.

PlusNet and Demon both offer static IP as standard - there are others....

Not sure I understand this bit. If you go for a router based solution
then it will make a connection to the ISP using PPPOA. Your local
network / computer will not need to "dial up" as such becasue the router
will be set as a "default gateway" hence any traffic not destined for
the same computer (or another machine on your network if you have more
than one computer) will get sent to the 'net via the router.

We offer static IP as an option with all of our ADSL products (home and

ADSL in the UK is typically provided as a PPP over ATM connection.

I am not sure exactly what your question is though. You can either use NAT
for systems behind your router or, if you have static IPs, just assign the
systems with a "real" IP address.

At the moment (here in Denmark), I have a some-sort of a "Ethernet"
connection
to my ADSL ISP, witch basicially means that I've connectet my
gatewaycomputer (firewall/local proxy),
directly to the modem.. So I am just a bit "scared" about the PPPoA
option.. Will that
work with Linux, or shuld I have a router(ie. speedstream) in between.. ?!

Normal to use a router which just provides an ethernet port that has
your IPs on it.

It's pretty much the same here - you set up your modem or router to use
PPP over ATM and then it just works.

You can use a modem (USB or PCI) or a router as you prefer.

Yes it will work. So long as your modem is supported by Linux (and most
are) and your kernel supports ATM and PPP (all contemporary Linux distros
support this) you should have no trouble.

In addition to UKPOST I run UK Free Software Network, an ISP
specifically for users of Linux and other Free Software platforms. I am
more than happy to explicitely support Linux/*BSD/UNIX connections as well
as Mac and Windows.
