Thanks to Eric, I now have my Bering-uClibc server talking to my speedtouch 
modems. I can successfully connect to the internet and
my internal network can browse the web etc.

The next stage is to get _both_ my ADSL connections working through the leaf 
box to spread the traffic and provide some resilience
for the network - this is, after all, the reason I am swapping my two super 
unstable/buggy DrayTek routers for a mini PC and two
adsl modems.
 
I know this is not a specific leaf problem, but does anyone know how to tell 
pppd which device to use for a PPP connection when
using the pppoatm plugin ?
 
pppd is being called as follows for the two connections ppp0 and ppp1

        pppd call adsl0
        pppd call adsl1

And the adsl<x> scripts contain

        plugin pppoatm.o 0.38

But I need to be able to specify which modem each provider script should use. 
E.g. something like...

        plugin pppoatm.o 0.38 -m 1
        plugin pppoatm.o 0.38 -m 2

At the moment, they both try to access the first modem.

Perhaps it is another command line parameter that must be passed on the plugin 
line, but I can't fine a man page that specifies
this.

On earlier distributions, where there was no linux inbuilt ppp over atm 
support, the speedtouch had specific files pppoa2 and pppoa3
where the modem number could be specified using -m <number>. E.g.

        /usr/sbin/pppoa3 -m 1 -c -vpi 0 -vci 38
        /usr/sbin/pppoa3 -m 2 -c -vpi 0 -vci 38

...But there is some difficulty compiling these two for uClibc, as I understand 
from Eric. Plus, why use an early modem specific
implementation, when there is a newer, integrated generic version.

This problem is neither specific to leaf nor the speedtouch, so apologies for 
posting here, but if anyone can give any pointers, it
would really be appreciated.

I will post back the required leaf config when I have everything sorted out.

Best regards

Stephen Done
