I have mindspring dsl also. I was able to retrieve the pppoe package with apt-get, however, I wasn't able to configure it or get it to work. I downloaded the roaring penguin pppoe package, and I was able to successfully install and configure it. It is avaiable here: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/ Here you will find the instructions to install and configure(it is a snap to setup)
The file you want is here: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/rp-pppoe-2.4.tar.gz Have fun. --- Ken Weingold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone here ever get pppoe working?
