The Linksys BEFW11S4 router can also establish the PPPoE connection so you don't have install any of the applications supplied by Yahoo! SBC DSL on you computer.
At the bottom of the Setup tab page in your Linksys router, select the PPPoE login method with your SBC login name/password and the Keep Alive option.
Then go to the Status tab page and press the Connect button. The router will then display a message indicating that you are connected. Everything should work fine after waiting about 30 seconds for your computer and router to re-synch with this new PPPoE connection.
Sometimes I do have to reboot my laptop and WSB11 Linksys Wireless Bridge after I re-connect my router to my SBC connection. But once I connect, I leave my router on with the connection alive and only reboot my router about once a week.
Works with WEP and MAC filtering, too.

A linksys BEFW11S4 works great - connect the WAN hookup to the DSL
modem, and you've got a 5 port hub for ethernet as well as 802.11b
wireless. You configure PPPoE on the WPC-11.
They run about $90 on Amazon and there's a $10 rebate - $80 is a sweet
deal.
