I have setup both telstra adsl and internode adsl, there are some
differences. Notably telstra requires the use of pppoe and provide
crappy usb modems (my main problem in getting the damn thing going),on
the other hand internode uses a bridging modem (I used a dlink dsl-300)
- a bridging modem does not require pppoe and is easier to setup.
