Or he had business grade DSL from Verizon, or something other than PPPoE.

They are working on a Linux version of their install software, according to one
set of people I talked to.
Given that they say that if the end-user doesn't log in within such and such a
period after activation (turns out my number wasn't activated yet, anyway),
they'll turn on the account anyway, that they should be able to generate the
necessary data.
On hold until Verizon really does finish their end. Blech. But the DCA.net
line hasn't been terminated yet.
