I operate in MPoA bridged mode and my unix box connects with ppp. They say that PPPoe mode is a better mode because the modem stores the logon and password in memory and handles it's own ppp connection. If that is the case I don't know how to connect to the modem and GVC tech support is lost here because they don't know unix.
