At first, I tried using the PPPoE they supplied (unsupported). It was an old commercial package, and I don't think I ever got it going. After some struggles, I installed RH7.1, which includes the open source PPPoE from Roaring Penguin. This came up very easily. I haven't had any problems with it. It has a startup script in rc.d so it comes up automaticly when I boot, and reconnects if it ever disconnects. John Hesterberg
