RE: What is PPPoed?
If you do not use it directly, then why is there rc.conf statements to enable it just like you would enable user ppp? Pppoed_enable="YES" It's more than a behind the scenes module. -Original Message- From: Peter Ulrich Kruppa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 1:33 PM To: Jorn Argelo Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: What is PPPoed?

RE: What is PPPoed?
>Your wild guess makes no sense. >DSL lines are 24/7. >They are like leased line, with permanent connection. >Dailup service uses user ppp to 56k voice line style modem. This is not true. A friend of mine does not have a 24/7 DSL line. He needs to dial-in into his DSL connection before he has internet. Perhaps it does not exist in your country, or you are unaware of it, but I am sure that it does exists. Here is a quote from the first line of the pppoed man page: The pppoed utility listens to the given interface for PPP over Ethernet PPPoE) service request packets, and actions them by negotiating a ses- sion then invoking a ppp(8) program. I don't really find it that hard to understand though. It makes perfect sense with what I said. It uses PPP (Dial-in) over ethernet.(PPPoe) A modem does not use an ethernet line, as far as I know. (Modem is a simple telephone line, using RJ-11 connectors. Ethernet uses RJ-45 connectors) So it has to be a utility to dial into a permanent DSL line, since you can't dial into a cable modem. For a regular modem connection you just use the PPP utility.

Re: What is PPPoed?
I believe it's dialup service for DSL lines (Point to Point Protocol over ethernet daemon? Just a wild guess though) So if you have a DSL line which requires the user to dial in, you'll need PPPoed. Otherwise, if your ISP gives you an peminent IP address, you can just set your interface to DHCP or anything else the ISP requires.
