Well funny enough, my NT box which Telstra couldn't get to work finally
works. DHCP was giving us grief and now it suddenly gets a 192.168.0.1 IP
(not my original IP either) and now authenticates fine and connects via
their software...
So what do I put in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0? Should it be
static 192.168.0.1 or leave as DHCP which never works even with dhcpcd or
even using ISC's dhclient...???
I might try static IP and try other things out.
NOTE: I do get error messages in the /var/log/messages that I was
disconnected by the PEER.. which I guess means that I do get through to the
server but disconnect for some reason..
Anyhow... attack another day..

err, no.
ppp does all the authentication and IP negotiation. for adsl (at least
the pppoe flavour of it), dhcp is not used.
use CHAP, not PAP - despite the fact the telstra end agrees to
PAP. (its one of a list of bugs i've told several telstra people)
and your password is all lower-case, despite what the install people
may have written down ;)
an "i survived telstra adsl" howto anyone?
