I've seen the other replies. I've got sbc dsl, dynamic. As was
already suggested, I use rp-pppoe. I don't enter any IP or DNS
numbers, as dns is provided by sbc's server. All I enter in
'adsl-setup' (actually with 9.1 you don't even need to do this step
if you set it up during installation) is provider/username/passsword,
and for dns, enter 'server'. Also as somebody already said, if you're
setting it up after installation of 9.0, use 'tkpppoe' as root.
The only little glitches I ran into when I first got the service
was sbc's server wont accept just my user name, it insists on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Also for the first several days I had service, it
was neccesary two or three times, to completely power off (unplug)
the "modem", leave it off for a minute, then power back on and wait a
few moments for it to re-sync. I got that suggestion from the
dsl-howto's trouble shooting section. It worked each time, I haven't
had to do it again since.
