If by that you mean you want to use your Alcatel with PPPoE rather than the tedious pptp on Redhat, you can easily change your modem's configuration according to the instructions in: http://www.isoc.org.il/%7Edoron/PPPoE.html Then, all you have to do (On the recent Redhat releases, anyways) is run adsl-setup. You might want to avoid the "save settings" option when changing the modem to pppoe, so that if you ever want to change back to pptp, you simply need to restart the modem. I've been using pppoe for about a month now, and I've noticed numerous disconnections - at least 10 a week. When I used pptp, the frequency of disconnections was roughly once per week. I haven't switched back to pptp to confirm that this indeed is the problem (I try to avoid using packages not from the official pool), so if anyone wants to report their experience with pppoe, I'd be happy to hear it.
