hi m, i used verizon pppoe sucessfully (albeit grudgingly) for a couple years. my best advice, is to just switch from verizon to another provider like dcanet or speakeasy. dcanet will have prices/bandwidth competitive to verizon's, and they'll even give you a static ip address. but i'm sure you've already considered that... anyway, i'm pretty sure i got it working under linux at some point, but for most of the time i had a pentium-95 machine running rp-pppoe on NetBSD quite happily. i have the config files for that, which i think are platform independant--i'll post them online at: http://www.seanius.net/linux-docs/pppoe they all go in /etc/ppp and need a little customization (ie: device name, user name, password) if that fails for you, posting the output of your syslog/dmesg/messages/plog would be helpful. hth, sean On Wed, Jul 02, 2003 at 02:34:54PM -0700, M.Simons wrote: > > besides pitching the 3rd annual linux event, I will also be at the meeting > beggin' for help, with computer in tow.. > > I have been trying to get a system going that will hookup with my verizon > dsl/pppoe.. to no avail..
