The Lombard was connected by an Orinoco wireless Card and "connected" via a Linksys GAteway router, but a storm blew that modem/router out yesterday and the sprint guys left me with only a dsl modem with an ethernet connection and promise to overnight a new router, the Wells Fargo Wagon did NOT arrive today...but I needed it today...of course so I am improvising with cables...i think
The router provided the PPPoE needed for most ADSL accounts.
OS9 has no PPPoE functionality, but OSX does.
If you are using OS9, you need to find a PPPoE shim; I have no idea if there are any Open Source ones. Or Plan B; get a "Cable/DSL router" at CrapUSA/Fried/WorstBuy and use it to do the PPPoE -- that's a better idea..
