Well..actually i am up against the same thing. First of all - i have an external Westell modem, but judjing by software they make you install on windows there is PPP other Ethernet. I don't have a static IP address and the modem would not respond to regular DHCP. So i assume that ppp other ethernet has to be there. Btw where can i find this handbook on ppp other ethernet?
