You betcha! ADSL uses a PPPoE (Point to Point over Ethernet) connection. All that is needed for Linux then, is a PPPoE login client. Most recent distros have one included but Roaring Penguin has one if you’re stuck. Checkout the BigPond Broadband.Linux newsgroup to talk to other ADSL Linux users. Becsta has written a step by step guide. Paul Hoadley has a FreeBSD and BigPond ADSL walk through. See also Daemon News.
