[PLUG] resnet

[he@expert.cc.purdue.edu]

	Well... regarding to the ADSL problem I posted before, it seemed
to be solved with Brent's help. He called GTE people, and the GTE guy
seemed changed a modem NIC card at the other side (phone office), now
the synchronization light of the 1Meg modem seems always "green", and
I feel OK for my telnet sessions.  That's it, ADSL shouldn't be worse
than even normal modem dial-ups, otherwise there must be something
wrong, in my case, the physical line connection may have some problems.
