I have been using tkpppoe on a RedHat 9 system (GNOME) for a couple of
years. I had to download the source and recompile it to get it to work
with my Alcatel Speedtouch modem to connect to actcom. This was all
quite a long time ago but under the old adage of "If it ain't broke
don't fix it" I am still running that system.
On a side note: I installed RedHat 9 at the time for a project I was
working on. Since nothing lasts forever I want to think about what to
do when I have to upgrade the system. The distributions out there have
changed radically with new distributions out. Without trying to start a
distribution war I wanted to know what people would recommend for a
system that needs to provide the following requirements:
1. Connect to the Internet via ADSL (currently I use actcom as my ISP)
2. Provide NAT services to an internal network of mainly windows machines
3. Provide SAMBA services for the internal network
4. Run Apache, PHP, MySQL for internal web application development
5. Run dosemu for an old DOS accounting application that is still holding on
6. The Windows machines will sometimes connect to the Linux box using
Cygwin's X server.
I think that is it for now. When the time comes I will probably have to
replace it in a hurry so I am looking for something that would "just work".
Thanks,
David Suna

Hi,
Someone asked me about a GUI program that can be used to connect to the ADSL.
I know that pppoe (pon/poff) works like a charm, but it's command-line based
and the user wants an easy to use applet instead.
I googled for a while, but couldn't find anything relevant (except for a
project that hasn't been maintained in the last 4 years). Does anyone know if
there's a simple way to do this on KDE?
