Easier internet configuration

I have yet to actually meet anyone IRL with a DSL modem inside their PC.
 I have heardtell 2 people who have been on freenode had internal DSL
modem cards.

Aside from this, most DSL modems either have a router built-in and get
configured to set up the PPPoE pipe themselves; or hook up to a Linksys
router et al which does PPPoE.  People with one computer and a
straight-out DSL modem are the only ones that really wind up needing
host-based PPPoE; cable modems do flat DHCP.

In short, it's a very unlikely case.

    new problems waiting out there.
