Good evening list.
I have a toy linux box that I'm using to teach myself some basic linux consepts and such. I have nearly decided to switch from cable to ADSL for a number of reasons. When all of my machines connect to cable, both linux and windows contact my isps servers automaticly. ADSL networks can be set up to do this, but they require a piece of software to be installed on the client machine. I am sure this does not spell woe for linux users, but is there anything extra I'll need to connect to DSL? Where would I look for software and docs?
Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,
You need a ppoe client. You can get one from your distribution ( I thnk most distributions now include one) or you can go to:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/home.html
... and check in their Products list fro rpppoe. I used it before, though I'm now on cable since adsl isn't available where I live now.
HTH,

greetings. there is a package I'm using called rp-pppoe which emulates
the enternet 300 client required by some dsl isps. I think this comes
standard with most linux distros now a days
if you have trouble with it, let me know and I will find it. what
distro are you using to learn on?
Brian.
