After I had learned that pppoa is a no-no in germany I went for the RFC 2684 bridge. Everything compiles okay and I get a new interface "nas0".
Now when I launch pppd (with the pppoe plugin) it only comes to the point where it says "sending PADI". I looked at the source code and could see, that the next thing after sending padi is to wait on a socket. The /proc/net/atm/Alcatel... shows me TXs and the intefrace nas0 to. Both don't show any RXs. Obviously there is no response. Again I can switch my VPI/VCI settings around without any difference and I can change the username in etc/ppp/condif any way I want. Apart from the question "what to do next" (obviously: buy an ethernet modem) there a two things I don't quite understand: My DSL provider is deutsche telekom (T-), my ISB provider is Tiscali. Where do my lovingly handcraftet ethernet frames end up ? At T- or at tiscali ? If its T- what is the connection to tiscail. It it is Tiscali (what I suspect), how to my ethernet frams find their way to tiscali ? The only indication in the configs is the "name" and "user" settings in ppp/config. These are in fact "tiscali/martin.drautzburg" Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
