No. A phone number was not necessary. Even though I've been using Dachstein (then Bering) for 2-3 years now, I still don't get so deep into the networking/linux thing to know and/or describe things perfectly. With that in mind......
I believe that I left DNS server up to DHCP Client to figure out. At first I thought there was some sort of problem. I could connect using my buddies name/password in the configuration but not mine. Turned out that it can take Bell Canada days to get account set up. On top of that, when the first checked by chosen username, it was already take so my account was disabled. Of course you would think they would tell me! But I had to call in to find that out. Once I got a new username and they set up another account, connection was flawless. I think my point is that the Bering PPPoE setup is good for Bell/Sympatico. Only the username/password setup threw me a curve (ie; the two configuration files). And since I installed TinyDNS, I hard coded their DNS server as secondary to my internal DNS Cache and TinyDNS.

I take it then that Bell uses PPPoE with PAP? > One other thing ;-) What did you adjust in the "ISP Login Script" for the PPP module? Do I need to enter a phone number? Thanks for your help!
