Hi, I was just wondering does anyone know if it's possible to use BT Broadband on a linux system? I've heard there are problems, something to do with a modem they supply (BT voyager?) and driver issues. Any info would be most appreciated!
There's are many ADSl modems that will work just fine with Linux. However, my advice would be: don't bother.
Buy yourself a suitably featured ADSL firewall/wireless router that presents ethernet to your LAN and never think about the problem again.
Personally, I have one of these:

There are certainly much cheaper options available, I just like Draytek kit.
