Hi all,

I'm looking at having ADSL/HDSL installs in our company to replace the current ISDN WAN link and configure this ADSL/HDSL as our new WAN connection between offices. What I want to know is:

1) Is there any website, link, forum etc... on the Internet that will show/explain me how to do this?

2) If I do use ADSL/HDSL, what sort of configurations will I have to do or look out for? That is, what sort of setup do I have to do in order to get all the sites to share files, printing etc... over this ADSL/HDSL network

3) I need a guideline/steps involve in getting the ADSL/HDSL to work over WAN.

4) What sort of information (if any) do I have to get from my ISP before I go about setting up ADSL/HDSL for WAN connections? I presume there would be some sort of GUI tool to configure the ADSL router?

FYI,

We have about 4 offices spread over different states in Australia, I'm thinking of having HDSL at our main office in Melbourne and ADSL at other remote sites. I have a linux firewall, a few W2K servers and about 100+ users in our company.

Many thanks to all that helps.

P.S I plan to use the ADSL/HDSL modem routers provide by the ISP e.g. DLink 504+, NEC HDSL. I guess these routers would be enough to get me going for LAN/WAN connections?
