I could be wrong about this (and you'd need to prove
that to me . . . ), but from every indication I've
been able to come up with, using the current SBC |
Yahoo DSL service with OS/2 or eCS *requires* a FIXED
IP. A DSL router alone ain't gonna do it, *unless*
you have the fixed IP. (I had an older DSL router,
which had to be re-programmed -- another issue.)
Otherwise, you will need PPOE, and I think
specifically some form of PPOE that is compatible with
their service: possibly proprietary, and almost
certainly WIN-based.
