I have ADSL (also PIPEX) working with 7.3.  I followed the
instructions at
http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/speedtouch/index.en.php3   I also
found a script to go in /etc/init.d that will make a connection at
boot time.  I'll post it in full as I can't find the link.

You will just need to add the appropriate links in the runlevel
directories.

For your info I've never had a moments bother with this setup.  works
great.

regards

Steve
