Well back when I was using earthlink, before dropping
them because they kept dropping me. I had installed
PPPoe software from
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
It worked OK for me. I just got tired of Earthlink
dropping me for now reason about once a week. And I
also got tired of the support people not supporting
Linux. So everytime I had to check the connetion I had
to boot into windows. I went with Rapdisys and a
static IP no ppoe and my systems is not rock solid. In
the 4 months I've been with Rapidsys I've only been
dropped from the network once and it was a problem
with the Verizons switch.
Stepping down of the soap box.
Hope this helps.
