Don't mean to turn your how-to into an Ubuntu guide but reading the fine
manual
is a basic thing many users skip over.
I agree - and then they blame the software - thus is the point of the tutorial
- a hopefully knock on wood, cross my fingers, nearly foolproof way to get them
started so they see what they were missing and increase the number of converts
(insert sinister Mr. Burns finger motion here).
I'll add a comment about reading the help files - Hardy is 8.04 right? I'll
locate the 6.06 version help files link off my install(s) for people to have
that info handy. It'll be a simple addition. Thanks for the suggestion. PPoE
was one of the complaints I had when they started DSL - now the modems they are
replacing the worn out ones with (well at SBC at least - my office has a DSL
connection) has the PPoE setup built in so it acts just like a cable modem or
router. I won't digress into all my other issues between the two. :) I know
for some (like my office it's either the best choice, only choice or only cost
effective choice (the office got a 53k quote to extend lines to the building +
business rates of 75% over for the same service I get at home - and still a
dynamic IP not static).
Thanks for the feedback - the PDF version is looking rather nice right now.

One thing worth mentioning to people unfamilar with Ubuntu is the help files
are
a must read. On Hardy these are accessed by clicking the question mark on the
top bar. For example it explains how to enable a ADSL pppoe connection. The
network assistant is next to useless for this type of connection which might
confuse some users.
