Re: DSL modem driver

[Dave Bonhoff]

Agreed!  The thing is, I'm trying to use a USB DSL Modem.  The PPPoE 
tab is one of the ethernet port settings.  It isn't available in any of 
the modem settings.  This is why I'm looking for a different modem 
driver.  As I said, all the drivers I've found are for PPPoA.  Maybe 
I'm missing something real simple...

I'm trying to share the connection with other computers in the house 
over the network port, if that makes any difference.  I've already 
found that by having the network location set to automatic, having the 
USB DSL modem listed first, then the internal modem, and having 
internet sharing enabled, the iMac is acting as a decent 
router/firewall. And it will automatically try the DSL, then fall back 
to the internal dial-up modem when the DSL modem doesn't connect.  Now 
THAT is a neat feature!

Thanks
Dave

PPPoE is built in to OSX. System Preferences, Network, and there is a 
PPPoE tab with a check box to turn it on.
