[PLUG] Switching from Cable to DSL

[Paul <gyoza@comcast.net>]

Here's the deal:
Free wireless router, after rebate.  I think it's a Linksys.
1st month free, although I will have to pay shipping of the install kit.
Since I have a Verizon calling plan the cost after the first month will 
remain at $30 per month.

I had Telocity DSL a while back.  All Telocity required was an Ethernet 
connection to the external DSL modem.  The same is true for my current 
Comcast cable connection.  The question is, what should I expect when 
switching to Verizon DSL?  Will I need wacky PPPoE software?

Right now everything is routed through a GNU/Linux box acting as a 
firewall/router/wireless access point.  (I was working on VPN for the 
wireless client.)  I guess I wouldn't mind replacing the Linux box with 
a Linksys router.  I'm just wondering, other than being less stable and 
not as fast as cable, is there anything else that I should be aware of 
before switching?
