you shouldn't have to run PPPoE at all. I have a static IP address on my
DSL circuit at home, with a 3Com 3C905 series NIC card, I just installed
the NIC like any other and configured the IP information and I was up and
running. There is no need to use PPP at all, the DSL modem acts as a
network interface. There shouldn't be any traps that you could fall in, as
this is all pretty much straight forward.

Subject: Re: Bell Atlantic InfoSpeed DSL (PPPoE)
Thanks for the quick reply. I had a sneeking feeling that I was making
some bonehead mistake. Perhaps a couple more questions might point to my
errors.
First, does the sample ppp.conf in the PPPoE section of the handbook work
as is (with the obvious user id & passwd changes, of course)? What changes
have people made to it for their setups to work? Any obvious (or not so)
traps people have fallen into?
Second, what should the ifconfig_xx line in rc.conf read for the NIC being
used for the DSL connection?
Thanks again for the help. I'm relatively new to FreeBSD so this has been
a learning experience. :)
