Figure 19.7 DSL Configuration
To use Dial on Demand on a stand-alone workstation, also specify the name server
(DNS server). Most ISPs support dynamic DNS—the IP address of a name server is
sent by the ISP each time you connect. For a single workstation, however, provide a
placeholder address like 192.168.22.99. If your ISP does not support dynamic
DNS, enter the name server IP address provided by your ISP.
Idle Time-Out (seconds) defines a period of network inactivity after which to terminate
the connection automatically. A reasonable time-out value is between 60 and 300 sec-
onds. If Dial on Demand is disabled, it may be useful to set the time-out to zero to
prevent automatic hang-up.
The configuration of T-DSL is very similar to the DSL setup. Just select T-Online as
your provider and YaST opens the T-DSL configuration dialog. In this dialog, provide
some additional information required for T-DSL—the line ID, the T-Online number,
the user code and your password. All of these should be included in the information
you received after subscribing to T-DSL.
