Yes and no.
Early ADSL modems (such as the green Alcatel flat fish shaped one, I still have it) required you to set up a ppp connection on top of the ATM based link they provided. Today's ADSL modems provide a network interface directly and don't need require the user's system to use ppp.
Ahh, now I see what you're getting at.
:-) OTOH, even if the chip in this modem provides such an interface, that does not imply that Vodafone's servers are able to use it - maybe they only accept ppp. It would be interesting to find out what the Windoze drivers are using. Ciao, -- FA
