ADSL for use on server

I'm now using a (console) NAT & proxy server, with which I should be certain it works. For this, I would like to have some possibility to automatically dial at boot time (or if the modem takes care of that, even better).

I don't use ADSL (I use cable, a modem which uses Ethernet for
connectivity), but your best bet, barring a similar Ethernet modem, is
to look around in HARDWARE.txt to see if it is compatible. Check the
manpage for the driver; see if there are any caveats to worry about.
