But, I think that AT&T is more in the DSL space with PPPoE. Does this work for PPPoE, and if so, do you have to put the PPPoE password, into your "own" router? The ppp password is among those things that ISPs like to provision automatically. I'm really hoping that there is some technology out there that I'm ignorant of. (but, I'm cynically thinking that the technology involves sending Barbara out in a GPS equipped truck) -- Michael Richardson <mcr+i...@sandelman.ca>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
