Umm... but Sean has Verizon DSL and didn't, to my knowledge, use
Windows to set it up.
Then he must know something that no-one else in this world knows.
Or he had business grade DSL from Verizon, or something other than PPPoE.
Verizon DSL uses their intaller to generate a first time code that must be
used to login. You basicly have to note these values at install time and
enter them into your PPOE settings.
I have tried to convince Verizon to just make me an account but they "dont
have any way to do that"... Either way, without their installer there is no
verizon DSL. End of story.
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.
