pppoeconf / Verizon DSL
I've been using Debian with dial-up for about 8 years and it's getting
pretty slow, so I thought I would try DSL. The problem is I have
absolutely no understanding of how DSL works. If I could get a
connection I don't even understand how the browsers, etc. know how to
use it. And this is after reading the docs, searching Google and the
Debian list, etc. Is there a good step by step guide somewhere?
When I run pppoeconf I get: "the Access Concentrator of your provider
did not respond." I have also tried pppoe-setup. At this point, I
really wonder if the modem is even connected to the computer. Is
there a way to check it?
I have no idea what to do next, so any help would be greatly
appreciated.
The following is what I have so far and I know I'm not even close
because Apache, FTP, and Dict no longer work.

I have added my password information to chap-secrets
and pap-secrets.
