Let me resolve that one. I am on the Bell Atlantic network. I do
have to use PPOE, and Alexander's configurations were right on the
money. I had a little bit of a hiccup with configuration of the nic
because I didn't realize it would be ok for it to be configured
without an IP. Now it looks li
I thought there were some GTE territories on the east coast as
well. Not all Verizon West territories have the ATM yet since the FR
networks can be at a minimum of T1 speed but the ATM requires atleast a
DS3. In Hawaii, 90% of the DSLAM's are still FR.

Verizon West formerly known as GTE used to use only Frame Relay. They are
now using both Frame Rela
You can usually tell from the modem you're using. The GTE one is
a Fujitsu/Orkit and uses DHCP. The BellAtlantic one uses modems from
Efficient Networks/Siemens, Westell and Alcatel and uses PPPoE. What was
the name of the telco before it was Verizon, that's one way to tell.

Now I'm getting confused. I guess I'll have to be ready to set either
one up.
Thanks for the info guys.

Is PPP setup required? AFAIK, Verizon doesn't require an
authname/authkey challenge, since it logs the Mac Address of the NIC,
as well as the modem itself. I haven't been using PPP with AT&T for
the last 4+ years, and it works well.

I guess I need to get the goods on ppp setup now.
Does this replace dhclient, or should I simply tweak that config to
work with the new server?
Thanks a million.

Hi,
Verizon DSL works reasonably well for me. Below is my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
entry. Make sure that authkey and authname reflect the reality, add
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="NO"
ppp_profile="infospeed"
to your /etc/rc.conf file and you should be all set. No DHCP is
required, the IP
Hey folks. I have a quick question about hooking up a FreeBSD box to
Verizon DSL.
My machine is already up on an AT&T Broadband modem, and works fairly
smoothly with their DHCP server. I understand that Verizon will also
be putting me on DHCP, so I'll probably need to tweak some there.
