I got that in my copy too, wonder why.  Taking it out was required to

:pppd is there.  Does this tell you anything?

That DSL is evil. Like crack, there's no going back (to dialup).

Some thinks to think about:

Do you have a Windows machine to see if the hardware is good?  I seem
to recall some trouble resulting from my ipchains setup too.

Does the activity light on the DSL box flash when you attempt to
connect?

Did you slaughter the fatted calf?

Can you get a cable modem in your area?

Good Luck,
