------------------------

if i cant ...im hear that alcatel in its adsl device speedtouch use linux ..
so why i cant make my adsl modem using simple computer with linux

No. That's probably a V.90/V.92 modem and is not compatible with DSL...

I suggest you invest in a router/modem like this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...teway&v=glance

thnks j k9
but i not want to use factured adsl modem i want to build my own adsl modem using linux

Then you will need to buy a compatible ADSL modem.. Any from here should work fine: http://www.linuxadsl.co.uk/

thanks sir but i want to build my own adsl not buy new one...i want to make my ADSL modem

Oh, I get it... You want to _build_ your own ADSL modem, instead of using a prebuilt one (like the majority of other people - make that almost everyone)?

Sorry, I can't help you there... But enjoy building it


I would just set up a Linux box with something like IPCop, buy an ADSL modem, connect the two and then use that as my network's gateway. But, if you really want to do that, then... go ahead!

The actual signal conversion is done by specialized integrated circuits. With modem/routers linux is used for functions like port fowarding, NAT etc. Building a modem from scratch would not be an easy project for a begineer. I would purchase a manufactured modem and then use a linux computer as the gateway/router.
