Hi
Was it that hard to get PPPoE set up under Linux? I haven't got any problem
connecting to my provider; even surfing (with Lynx!) worked.
I am also planning to couple my ADSL connection to my network using a Linux
firewall. As my software, Roaring Penguin PPPoE (don't know what version),
uses the pppd to create a way to the Internet, I guess it's pretty much the
same as using a regular modem connection.
I'd like to have your opinion on this (haven't tried anything yet)
