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
Just go grab an alcatel speed touch home that's ethernet and works like a champ i had the usb version for 2 days and had nothing but problems been running my ethernet version for about 3 years i would guess now and it has never missed a beat.
