[lug] actiontec 1520 / bridging / linux

[Ben Luey]

Qwest just switched from using Cisco 678 modems to ActionTec 1520 -- are
these modems linux compatible / what are people's experiences with these
modems? How do you configure these modems -- ethernet/ip? Also, my ISP is
the U of Colorado and the modem is going to be in bridging mode. Will the
modem do the authenticating, or does each connected computer need to get
authorized somehow? Does each connected computer (directly to the 1520, no
hub / router) get its own ip address (that will occasionally change?) via
dhcp?

Thanks,

Ben
