Now I'm getting confused. I guess I'll have to be ready to set either one up. Thanks for the info guys.

Re: FreeBSD and Verizon DSL
You can usually tell from the modem you're using. The GTE one is a Fujitsu/Orkit and uses DHCP. The BellAtlantic one uses modems from Efficient Networks/Siemens, Westell and Alcatel and uses PPPoE. What was the name of the telco before it was Verizon, that's one way to tell.

Re: FreeBSD and Verizon DSL
The way it works is the the Verizon known as BellAtlantic requires PPPoE while the Verizon known as GTE doesn't. BA uses a ATM network while GTE uses a Frame Relay based network. Verizon West formerly known as GTE used to use only Frame Relay. They are now using both Frame Relay and ATM. This applies to both Static and DHCP. The customers using DHCP use PPPoE all Static customers use PPP. Verizon East formerly known as Bell Atlantic only uses ATM and only has DHCP service. All East customers require PPPoE David H.

Re: FreeBSD and Verizon DSL
I thought there were some GTE territories on the east coast as well. Not all Verizon West territories have the ATM yet since the FR networks can be at a minimum of T1 speed but the ATM requires atleast a DS3. In Hawaii, 90% of the DSLAM's are still FR.

Re: FreeBSD and Verizon DSL
I guess I need to get the goods on ppp setup now. Does this replace dhclient, or should I simply tweak that config to work with the new server? Thanks a million.
