    Great. Glad I could help ;o)

    Agreed. I'll bet if you put your DSL modem in simple modem mode, you'd
    have no problem at all getting that PPPoE link up and running. I believe
    that it is worth trying ones self after RTFM for the experience, then ask
    the questions when one is really stuck.

    Cheers,

    Steve
