pppoa
My ISP insists on PPPOA, but the Fine Manual* waxes long on pppoe and mentions only the Speedtouch with pppoa.
So, am I destined to drop FreeBSD (which I'm loth to do) for an OS that can handle pppoa, or is there a workaround?
I've ordered a Linksys WAG200G modem/router, if that's at all relevant !
* edit: in fact it's confused me: could I use mpd and pptpclient, or just one of them ...
second edit: I had to remap my ethernet card (it was 192.168.1.1) with ifconfig 192.168.1.5 so that I could, bear with me, access the modem/router on 192.168.1.1 - next hurdle: the ADSL hasn't been switched on yet, so it remains to be seen whether the tinterweb pootles downstream to my screen !
