You need to be a client, which uses the ppp client software. Keep your dialup configuration in your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file; add the PPPoE configuration as a separate label. Say your dialup configuration is labeled "dialup:" and the PPPoE is labeled "ether:". Then you would invoke PPP for dialup with: ppp -ddial -nat -quiet dialup And you would invoke PPPoE with: ppp -ddial -nat -quiet ether -- Fred Condo + fred@condo.chico.ca.us This above all -- to thine own self be true. -- Wm.
