There is an alternate solution to atmarp whose princip is to use a modified br2684ctl wich support routed_IP. You may look at http://adsl4linux.no-ip.org/linux/pulsar_linux_howto I don't know if in this way it will be possible to support a dhcp client. But the reluctance from the dhcp client to work at IP level should stay intact. If you manage the driver to behave like an ATM interface, what special interest is it to use pppoa3 instead of the speedtch module? :-) I only know the difference may be when bonding 2 modems. Would it be not more interesting from the user point of view to develop parts wich are not supported in both drivers like : - modulation (G-dtm, G-lite, ANSI T)choice and display during use, - display FAST_PATH or interleaved, - display line signal levels. This is just my two euro-cents. Gilles Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
