Are there instructions or comments anywhere about 
connecting NetBSD to DSL or Cable Modem?

I'm leaning toward DSL, and searched the port-i386 
archive for DSL as far back as January, finding naught.

I'm thinking to pick up an older computer, load NetBSD 
onto it, and employ it as a firewall/router at my home. I 
want to be able to dial into it from telephone, or 
telnet (or ssh) in via the always-on web. Samba and VNC 
look pretty cool. I really want to do something with both 
of those. And in general, I want to get some on-line 
things going so that I can play around with them and 
learn how best they work, etc... I've a chance to 
introduce NetBSD at work too, if I can get VNC online to 
my four networked NT's via NetBSD. I've already got it 
networked in (ping-able is all) and have a chance to play 
around some.

But first I must decide upon an ISP, DSL or cable modem. 
And none of the providers say anything about connecting 
to Unix. Does anyone have happy/unhappy experiences 
specific to NetBSD with DSL or cable modem?
