PS: I found also the adsl-setup script nukes my /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file
every time with "sed" errors and blanked my file... another one that threw
me off for a while..
Damn things...

I have set it up, i was one of telstras first linux uisers with ADSL.

It DOES NOT use DHCP!
Run adsl-setup, follow the prompts, make sure the intercface the network
card is on is up, without an ip address and then run adsl-start.
Try running it in debug mode (you have read the docs haven't you) and see
what output you get.
