[LUAU] Setup Hawaiian TelCom DSL modem from Linux

[Jim Thompson]

If you really want to know whats on the disk, ask Jamie.  She used to  
work for Broadjump (now Motive), and may have actually made the original
Verizon CD.

If your account is setup to just use Etehrnet and DHCP (most ADSL  
lines these days are), then you're good to go, just plug-in, and, if  
necessary, fire up
dhcpcd/pump/...

If your account is setup to do the old-school PPPOE, you'll need to  
do a bit more work:
