Morning Gilles, When you configure the adsl on Windoze, with the CD the ISP (Cable & Wireless) gave me, you have two options: PPPoE and RFC1483 (Multiprotocol over ATM). You have to choose the 2nd option, so I assume C&W uses PPPoA. But yes, I guess as you correctly point that they're authenticating myself at the hw level.
With the Windoze utility you get after installation, the VC / VP fields are set to the ones I'm sending (1/32). Merci beaucoup for your comments and thoughts.
