Re: pppoe on Debian -- Modem hangup
OK, by pure empirical reasoning I figured out that my ADSL connection works
if I boot Linux _first_ and then turn on my ADSL modem. If I do it other way
around ppp connection dies. I don't have any explanation why is this so, and
I would appreciate if somebody can help me understand it. I want to thank
everyone who answered my previous posting,
Slaven
P.S.
I understand that this may also be a bizzare string of coincidencies, though
it's not very likely.
