Hello John,

Yes, my ADSL Connection ist a PPPOE connection....

Instead of a ADSL sharing router, do you think it is possible to take an
"old" computer to work as a "proxy"?
Will say I have the firewall with the internal and external NIC and the
"external" NIC is connected to a computer who serves as a "Dial"-Proxy?

Thank you for your friendly help.
Gernot
