Right now I can't get past the timeout message each time I run adsl-start. BTW, which file is the mru value set in? I expect it would be /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf, but I'll look around at it and see. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jude DaShiell" To: Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 9:33 PM Subject: rp pppoe, what is it and where can I get it Well, the rp is an abbreviation for the roaring penguin. This is adsl protocol support for linux. If you installed everything on your system you probably already have it installed. commands like man -k dsl and locate adsl-setup may be helpful. That second one is real important but locate only works if slocate -u was run at sometime in the past. adsl-setup is what you use to get rp pppoe set up. If you go with verizon, make your mru value 1492. Leaving it at 1500 will get your connection broken down after a month since verizon's system thinks you're taking more band width than you're entitled to and when verizon breaks a connection down even if you pay the money to have it restored it is never restored. Been there; done that, and got the T-shirt but don't use verizon anymore. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
