Yes Yes!! Someone please help this fella, and in the process help me too. I have posted a few questions along the same lines, but have only received one response. There's gotta be a few gurus out there who can help us get through the PPPoE part of the FreeBSD learning curve. I am currently using FreeBSD 4.0 My ADSL service provider is Southern New England Telephone (SNET)-- now a subsidiary of SBC just like PacBell. I am writing from work, so I cannot produce my ppp.conf and rc.conf for this post; however, I would be very greatly to begin dialogue with anyone who can help Sam and I get ADSL working. I was thinking of buying the Linksys ADSL PPPoE Router that everyone is raving about, but I don't think that will help until I get FreeBSD to make my Kingston KNE 110 TX ethernet card pass packets back and forth. Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from some successful ADSL users. -- Best regards, mhf mailto:michael.flug@snet.net Wednesday, August 02, 2000, 7:19:49 AM, you wrote: SL> I am running a FreeBSD 3.4-Release #3 test system on which I am attempting SL> to configure PPPoE, to no successful avail.
