I'm having trouble setting up Bering RC1 to connect to pacbell DSL
using pppoe.  The machine I'm using works fine connecting to a cable
modem (with Bering configured differently, of course), so I don't
think there are any hardware problems.

Also, I'm able to connect a Debian Woody system using pppoe, so
there's no reason to suspect problems with the connection either.

The errors happen when ppp attempts to use pppoe, which I've
configured to use the first pty line:

pty "pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1452"

If I simply type
'/etc/init.d/ppp start', these lines show up in /var/log/syslog:

# Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/pppoe.so loaded.
# PPPoE Plugin Initialized
# pppd 2.4.1 started by root, uid 0
# Serial connection established
# Couldn't get channel number: Input/output error
# ioctl (PPPIOCGFLAGS): Bad file descriptor
# Exit.

The line in my Debian system analogous to the pty line above looks the
same except that instead of "pppoe" it lists a path to an executable:
/usr/sbin/pppoe.  But there's no such executable on my Bering system.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?  I've searched the
archives for discussions of the error messages I'm seeing but have
found nothing.  Are there other places I should be looking?

Thanks,
