Well, I don't have much.  Whenever the original post was made, there was 
a link to specific hardware modems.  So I thought.  Anyway, I ordered 
one.  Now looking at the asterisk page, I don't see references to such 
hardware.  I'm now trying to figure out why I purchased said modem. :)

Anyway, I've downloaded asterisk and will be building it shortly.

I'm going to look into naked dsl as well.  I've already dumped my 
business line for voip, and it is sweet.

Next I'll get another voip line and drop my current BellSouth service to 
the minimum just to support my dsl, until I can see about a naked dsl, 
hopefully over my existing unused business line.
