OK so ive been asked to compile an application that can setup an ADSL Connection for our customers. Now this area of software developement is new to me and i would like to know how this can be done as far as setting up a connection.
At my disposal i have VB 2005 express edition and/or VB 6.
Can you give me your advice on how creating an ADSL setup cd can be accomplished
Thanx

Define "setup CD". Programs like email client? Setting parameters on the modem? Setting up the computer itself (a network connection)?
Do you have control over which modem and interface will be used? What will you do for non-Windows customers?
OK,
Lets start with just windows customers and then with a working copy i can adapt to other O/S.
We do offer our customers a modem however they may use their own and this is one of the problems we face with developing a universal ADSL Setup CD is that modem configuration varies.
To begin with I think we can just configure the modem and create the internet connection to the point where our customer is able to access the internet and we can worry about configuring an email client at a later date.
Baby steps first as this area as I said previously is new to me :p
Well i hope this helped

Not if they can use their choice of modem. You'd need a configuration setup for every single type of ADSL modem that exists.Quote:
