Russell,

If you are sending out scripts that will help then put me on the list. I
too have a linux box that I want to connect to Earthllinks dsl. And I am
running the 2.4 kernel.

Alrighty then! I looked at the responses, and none really seems to answer
your question! ;-) I've got pppoe through earthlink as well. Since I run
debian...it's just a command: apt-get install pppoe. If you don't have
debian, then you can get the original pppoe software from
www.roaringpenguin.com/products.php3 . It comes with a script for doing
exactly what you want. It works beautifully for me.

If you run with the 2.4.x kernels, it won't work, since the scripts deal
with
ipchains, and not iptables. If you want to use iptables and 2.4.x kernels,
then I can send you a script that Derek Glidden generously donated to me.

HTH
