I don't want to configure the modem as a router. The man page for
pppoeconf says it is just a user friendly program to set up pppoe.
My problem is that pppoeconf cannot find the access accumulator (the dsl
modem). The ppp-connect-errors log is full of "Waiting for PADQ packet"
lines.
I have studied the DSL-HOWTO (dated?) and the pppoe man page and am not
much wiser.
For the present the old modem is working fine and I must wait until
Monday when the rest of the family is at work so I am free to bring the
system down and experiment with the new modem.
