pppoe on Debian -- Modem hangup

[Slaven Peles <peles@cns.physics.gatech.edu>]

Hi,
 
If anybody has an experience with pppoe on Debian please help. I am trying to 
configure my ADSL connection with Woody. When using Debian tools I get those 
'configuration successfull' messages, but the connection is terminated 
immediately. In /var/log/messages I find modem hangup messages. pppoe client 
in Debian is version 3.3 and what I found there is a bit different than that 
what is documented at Roaring Penguin web site, so instructions about 
debugging connection do not help me a lot. My connection works fine with 
RH7.3 though. Any suggestions how to debug and set up DSL connection on 
Debian would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Slaven


P.S.
Please cc me, since I'm not on the list. Thanks.
