Chuck,
Earthlink has a DSL PPPoE client for Linux program that can be downloaded
from their web page. I was unable to make it work with my Mandrake 7.0 Linux
installation. When I called the Earthlink tech support phone line for
assistance, the person I spoke to could not help me with the Earthlink
program but suggested I try a PPPoE client program available (for free) from
www.roaringpenguin.com. I
followed the instuctions on the Roaring Penguin web page and the program
worked perfectly the first time I tried it. The DSL download speed appears
to be much faster using the Roaring Penguin program under Linux versus the
Mindspring (Earthlink) DSL program under Windows 98. I used the speed test
program on the www.dslreports.com web page under both systems and found the
Linux system to be about twice as fast.
