PPP and SLIP and FreeBSD Hypertext Man Pages section 8 PPPOED(8). It seem that the first document implies that you are able to invoke pppoe with a ppp statement That is: # ppp -ddial name_of_service_provider However PPPOE(8) gives a different means of using pppoe. That is : pppoed [-Fd] [-P pidfile] [-a name] [-e exec] [-n ngdebug] [-p provider] interface Cheers, Tony Sterrett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
