[lug] Qwest's Actiontec 1520 and Linux Success? (OT)

[Frank Whiteley]

It appears that the 5260 is DMT, so it might work.  The VPI/VCI will need to
be reconfigured to the ISP.  Officially, the 5260 is not user configurable,
however, the VPI/VCI can be changed via telnet with no password required.
Googling the news groups seems to yield some ideas.
