He doesn't want to do PPPoE(oA) (where you usually use the bridge and wouldn't have anything todo with ATM yourself). That said doing PPPoA on a Fore should be doable by connecting ng_ppp to ng_atm I guess but I haven't done that myself up to now. You should have more input from you ISP about PVC etc.? --=20 Bjoern A. Zeeb=09=09=09=09bzeeb at Zabbadoz dot NeT
