Okay Randy, thanks a lot!

First, yes, I have not received your previous message for some reason.

=20

Second, the other site you have pointed out: =
http://myfreebsd.homeunix.net is accessible.=20

Third, the PPPoE connect works perfect, when configured the way you =
described.

=20

Although I have not finished the installation yet, I hope I will get =
through this (if not I will ask again :) ). But in general, all this =
excellently works.

=20

Here is what I did not get through myself: why would I need to =
initialize ppp? The answer is: to bring up that command line interface =
ppp on the next available tty and be able to enter ppp.conf lines such =
as real PPPoE device, authname, authkey, etc.

=20

Thank you very much again for your help!

Alex.
