Re: [PLUG] Bell's ADSL, using pppoe


While I can't comment on BA's ADSL service, I chose to let my ISP do the
legwork. I have SDSL via NorthPoint to my local ISP, and excepting some
witless games on billing from my ISP, the entire process was painless. I
have a single static address on the DSL side of a Netopia NAT router, with
a local private net.  Everything works perfectly.  Highly recommended over
the pppoe nonsense.
