I had the same problem.. The funny thing was that they convinced me that I
needed DHCP on my machine coz' I actually was getting IPs from them... YOU
DON'T (as people here have told me... thanks!).
There software sucks too.. I could have written a better program for them..
even run it as a service so it starts as soon as you login cause you machine
might reboot and you can't get into it if you have to click their stupid
icon....
At least my linux box has it's own scripts and I have modified them to
automatically update my DNS on restart or reboot...
Telstra could only get it working on my W98 partition and then I got it
working for the rest.. hopeless...
thanks,

I can also confirm that ADSL for Linux works.
I got the rp-pppoe-2_3_tar.gz package from roaring penguin, compiled it, ran
it, added the adsl-start script to the init scripts and it worked fine
without having to modify a thing.
When the telstra guy came to install it from Windows, it like took him
practically all day. Various things went wrong for him and he had to get
some
other guy in to help in. After they had gone it took about 5 minutes to
setup
the ppp over ethernet package on Linux. I really don't get why people say
Windows is so easy to use, it just isn't true.
