ADSL and ADSL2
<!--'''ADSL (or DSL)'''
ADSL is a type of high-speed Internet access that uses regular phone lines
and is available in many metropolitan areas.
'''Domain Name'''
This refers to the unique name attached to your organization on the Internet.
For example, "tofu-dog.com" or "e-smith.com". If you don't have a domain name,
your ISP can help you select one, ensure it is available, and register it.
'''DNS (Domain Name Service)'''
DNS, or Domain Name Service, refers to the software and protocols involved
in translating domain names to IP addresses. Your server provides DNS lookup services
for your local network, and your ISP typically also provides you with the IP addresses
of DNS servers. These servers do not need to be configured into your server as the DNS
server that is provided with your server will correctly resolve all local and Internet
names.
'''DNS: Publication of DNS Address Records'''
The publication of DNS address information allows other DNS servers to look up
your domain information. Your ISP must publish DNS address records associating the
name of your web server ("www.domain.xxx"), FTP server ("ftp.domain.xxx") and e-mail
server ("mail.domain.xxx") with the IP address of your server.
'''DNS: Publication of DNS Mail (MX) Records'''
The publication of DNS mail (MX) records is the method used to inform Domain Name Services
worldwide that all e-mail to your domain ("yourdomain.xxx") should be delivered to
your e-mail server ("mail.yourdomain.xxx").
'''ETRN'''
ETRN is a command used for dialup solutions in order to retrieve e-mail
temporarily stored at your ISP
'''Gateway IP Address'''
A gateway is the device on your network that forwards packets to and from the Internet.
