Once installed, execute "tkpppoe" (or "adsl-setup" from CLI) as root and it will walk you through setting up your ADSL connection. Since you're installing from the mdk rpms, it will even show up on the Mandrake 9.0 menu under Networking> Remote Acess. > HTH, > Scott Thanks Scott, Robert, and Tom, You guys are the greatest! I managed to get SBC DSL running because of the info you provided. I realized that I made a mistake during the Mandrake install. It recommended using Ethernet for the DSL setup, which worked on my previous DSL provider, but the ADSL was the one to choose. It automatically set up the PPOE software and now I am connected! Thanks a million! Mick
