This is when I learned that Tiscali does -not- support PPPoE, but rather
PPPoA. O'course, my Cisco PIX only supports the more flexible PPPoE
method. Grr.
Is this the case with all ISPs here in the UK? Anyone have an old Cisco
ATM device sitting around? :)
Welcome to the UK, and Scotland in particular :)
Sorry, pretty much all UK ADSL uses PPPoA, and the ATM part is for the
actual backhaul out of the exchanges. You won't need any ATM CPE gear
to connect. You'd probably be best off selling your PIX on ebay and
getting something more useful, or swapping out the appropriate WIC on
your PIX for an ADSL2+ WIC. *Or*, if you can, use an ADSL router than
can bridge to an ethernet WIC on your PIX - a Thomson Speedtouch or
Zyxel might be good for that, but YMMV; check first.
