Re: Connecting ADSL

[Rohit Kumar Mehta <rohitm@engr.uconn.edu>]

Hi Tim, I am far from expert in this arena, but I have PPPoE working 
with my SNET DSL
connection.  I think I used dialup to grab the following tarball 
rr-pppoe-3.5.tar.gz.
I also made sure I had ppp module and the modules for my ethernet cards 
and then it was
a matter of filling in blanks.  I wish you the best of luck.

You may also be able to google on YOUR PROVIDER, Linux and see if anyone 
else has posted
their procedure.
