Re: [PLUG] dhcp and comcast

[Anthony Locascio <thanous@dca.net>]

Is anyone using Redhat to work with comcast?

They are switching me over on Feb first, fun, and I need a way to route to
the network once its up.

I was KINDA under the impression that they used PPPoE, but when I asked the
tech support guy that he, well, brain farted.  "Thats a teir two question"
 I think is what he said.  har har

So anyway!

Redhat!  Comcast!  Packet forwarding Masqin!  If anyone has any exp or insight
feel free to chime in
