We assume here that you want to connect your LEAF router to the Internet via a DSL modem based on the Anolog chipset Eagle 8051. The Sagem F@st 800 modem as well as USRobotics DSL modems are based on this chipset. However, only the F@st 800 as been fully tested.

A useful link can be found here. You can also find a French newsgroup dedicated to this driver here. The PPP-Howto and the DSL-Howto are useful references for this section.

The following setup has been tested by Mathieu a French user who gets connected to the Free DSL service. Thanks to Mathieu for his help with the testing!
