<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have dsl from swbell working on my system under both linux and windows.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I had some teething problems getting it up and running (due mostly to the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>fact that I previously had no reason to get networking going on my standalone</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>system), but once I had the ethernet support working properly dsl worked</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>immediately.</FONT>
</P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I hate to bring this up yet again, but a friend jumped at SWBell DSL offer for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>his windows, and now finds he can't connect with linux. I used to think these</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>were all just DHCP connections, but after looking at the windows connection, I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>see it installs a dummy ip on the ethernet card and then a "PPPoE" connection on</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>top of that with its own routing information. I'm guessing it is "ppp over</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ethernet". Of course they do not support anything but windoze and mac. I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>suspect there might be additional authentication too, since the software takes</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>you to a website to sign on the first time.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Has anyone got this working thru linux? Was a solution brought up before? Is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>there a searchable archive of NTLUG's mailing lists?</FONT>
