Yes, AFAIK, Verizon uses PPPoE. I'm not sure anymore for OS 9 since I haven't used it in quite a while, but doesn't the system (specifically the TCP/IP control panel) has support for that kind of connection? OS X definitely has it. Other than that, you might need a little application that will initiate the PPPoE connection, but that should be pretty much it. -Laurent. -- =========================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************* Usual disclaimers apply ************************* FITNR // adj.: [Thinking Machines, Inc.] Fixed In The Next Release.
