linuxconf
Search for linuxconf Utility. The linuxconf is an excellent program for Network & ADSL Configuration.
As root user type
to bring up the linux configuration. then go ahead and configure your ADSL configuration with your eth0 device . then accept the changes
Make sure that you already modify your /etc/resolv.conf file. This can be done right in linuxconf by going into the Nameserver specification DNS section. If you wish to bypass linuxconf, you can edit the file directly using pico or vi editor.
Once you accept the changes in linuxconf and exited, type:
This should show you the eth0 configuration. This means that your ADSL connection is receiving a signal. You can see your assigned IP address and etc...
Now, you can do the ultimate test and go onto your internet browser and pull up a website. Or you can ping your IP or your ISP domain and see the response.
Happy ADSL !!!

networking
to set up the connection you'll find the tools you need in your distro as in mandrake and redhat it is simply networking so search for "linux networking" and see how to setup a network and you'll be able to setup anything else
the best things in life are free --- so as myself
whisper: Go for an aDSL route
