PPPoE is irritating and wierd to me, with a static IP, but are there
actual security or other issues with it?  What I have is Earthlink, and I
have to use PPPoE - Earthlink just reserves for me and always gives me the
same IP.  This is a home account, and I got the static IP so I can run a
server from home (yes, I have their permission).

Thanks,
Wayne
