ADSL modem enhancement

Introduction

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), please refer to ADSL wikipedia, is a form of DSL, a data communication technology that enables faster data transmission over copper telephone lines than a conventional modem can provide. ADSL can transmit up to 6 Mbps to a subscriber, and as much as 832 kbps or more in both directions. ADSL has transformed the existing public information network from one limited to voice, text and low resolution graphics to a powerful, ubiquitous system.

ADSL is available in various speeds and pricing throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. There are emerging markets in the Caribbean and through out Latin America. China had hit its 42 millionth customer in 2005. ADSL is connecting our homes with the whole world.

Now solaris just supports ADSL with ethernet interface, and we must extend sppptun to support USB ADSL modem.

Goal

This project will deliver an driver, and an configuration tool, which helps customers set up a dialing connection step by step.
