just wanted to give you folks an update (i'm sure you were eagerly awaiting one, heh.)
i can connect to ameritech (in chicago) via PPPoE using a different DSL modem, under FreeBSD. totally painless. this tells me that PPPoE is necessary. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to yet be a way to do PPPoE for the Speedtouch under FreeBSD. (Linux apparently works, I couldn't get it to work for other reasons.) this is too bad, because PPPoE in FreeBSD is very nice, totally painless. thank you for your help, and keep up the good work - B Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
