There is a page written by a FreeBSD user of Sympatico using PPPoE at the following: http://sympaticousers.org/faq/freebsd_howto.htm This page is mostly good, except for a couple of things: 1. As of 4.0-RELEASE, at least, NETGRAPH_.* options are no longer necessary, as netgraph can load its own modules. 2. Either "ddial" or "auto" is a better ppp_mode than "background". Same with the manual command line. 3. If you need -nat, add -nat to the command line Hope this helps! A question for PPPoE and Static IP ADSL users out there, does your download speeds slow down to a crawl when you are uploading at the same time as downloading? Since atleast with PacBell ADSL, it seems that if I am downloading only, I get between 170-200k/sec but when I upload, the upload goes at 16k/sec and the download goes down to 30k/sec. This is on a 384k-1.5Mbps down/128k up ADSL.
