Subject:   PPPoE daemon entries ??

OK, in my quest to try to figure out how to make my IFiTL connection work
with FreeBSD, it uses the PPPoE protocol in windows, I've kept up, as best I
can with the -RELEASE variants of FreeBSD.

In case you don't know: My ISP is bellsouth.net fast access.  IFiTL, is
basically DSL over fiber ( in their words ) and consists of an RJ45 drop.
No other hardware has been installed in the house.

I am using the chapter in the manual for the basis, and also what applies
from the good ol' Pedantic PPP Primer for the internal network portion.
While making the proper adjustments to the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file, I
noticed the four lines pertaining to PPPoE.  I can't seem to find any
information on this either in the manual, on the web, or by doing a search
of the FreeBSD pages.  Can someone give some insight as to what these
entries do, how to make them work, etc...

I'm by far, no unix guru, or pro, I am learning and dont quite understand
everything.  I have tried, to use the manual section just to get the system
connected, without any reference to the internal LAN.  There doesn't seem to
be a man page entry for this.  Although pppoe is briefly covered in the ppp
man page.

Thank you

Thomas Herman
