Dear Ben,
I hope this helps. I do have a Speedtouch modem working with
Ameritech (well, most of the time).
I am afraid I am using PPPoE. The basic setup is Mandrake 8.1 with a
kernel I got from Mandrake's cooker. This kernel already includes the
bridging code you need for PPPoE over ATM (no patching required).
I had to install the atm package and also the bridging application. I
used the speedtouch module from sourceforge. Last, I used the Alcatel
software. Ah, yes, I use the PPPoE package from Mandrake, I believe it
is the Roaring Penguim one.
I do have a few problems, maybe people in the list can help me:
1. Performance seems to be worse than in Windows. Should I try moving
to a kernel based PPPoE? Any other explanation?
2. I can't shutdown the machine.
3. The machine is a laptop, and it would be real nice if I could
suspend the laptop without freezing ;-).
BTW, the machine is also a NAT server for our wireless network. It
works fine most of the time.
If people need more info, I'll be glad to help. I don't want other
people to go through what I had to suffer ;-).
Cheers,
Vitor
