Johan's driver is a kernel module. So it is deep down in the system. Benoit's driver is a normal program. One advantage is that mistakes in Benoit's driver won't crash your system. One disadvantage is that it takes up more CPU time etc than Johan's driver. However the ADSL modem is quite slow (compared to other hardware), so in practice this doesn't matter. If I were you, I would use Benoit's driver: less aggravation. Benoit's driver can also use the hotplug subsytem (I use it like that). Use pppoa2 rather than pppoa3 because pppoa3 has some bugs that cause it not to work (for me) with the hotplugging stuff (I will fix it one day but I haven't found time yet). Ciao, Duncan.
