Are you using the pppoe from the mandrake install? If so, you should
try rr-pppoe from http://www.roaringpenguin.com Make sure to read the
help or how-to file included.
Also, this is from Larry Marsahll on the list:
"Then, what I'd recommend is that you set up a couple aliases in your
.bashrc file to execute the asdl apps. The reason for this is that
it's a pain to have to su to root everytime you want to execute stuff
like this. Rather, you can get past this by using "kdesu" to automate
the process some. My aliases look like:
alias mo='kdesu -c adsl-start'
alias umo='kdesu -c adsl-stop'
Typing "mo" pops up a window so I can enter the root password and then
it spools up my connection."
He's refering to a work-around to not being able to use the "adsl-start"
"adsl-stop" and "adsl-status" commands from a user other than root.
Hope this helps!
