Internode Business ADSL

Internode will give you all of the required detailst for configuring your ethernet interface and DNS. The only complex bit is if you route extra IP's over the link in which case they want you to use an IP/IP tunnel. I strongly recommend you plug the ADSL modem into a separate ethernet card and not your switch to simplify firewall setup etc, if you don't each machine on the network will need a firewall which can be very inconvenient to setup.

I have the following in my /etc/rc.conf file

gif_interfaces="gif0"
gifconfig_gif0="inet 150.101.23.134 203.16.215.227"
ifconfig_gif0="mtu 1452"

The first IP is yours, the second is the other end of the IP/IP tunnel.

I have also written a Perl script which queries the usage meter which is available from here.

Just recently it has come to my attention that they may set up the link using GRE not IP/IP, so either ask for IP/IP or try using gre(4).
