thanks a lot for the reply!
situation:
i came to the point, that i need something like superrescue-cd.
there is no default adsl dialup on it, as i know already.
what i know for sure, is that RoaringPenguin-pppoe is implemented on
that cd and rp-pppoe/adsl is a user space driver. So adsl-dialup must be
available on superrescue.
/usr/sbin/adsl-start
gave
cannot read configuration file /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
it's not there and no link to /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
either. i have a problem with that, because this should be the necessary
config file for the rp-adsl-scripts. superrescue is built on rh7.2, it
looks exactly the same on rh7.3(as well no link) but there it works!
anyway, then i forget the scripts and try by hand:
ifconfig eth0 up
(i have validated sucessfull networking before)
ifconfig ppp0 up
ppp0: unknown interface: no such device
pppoe -A eth0 => works as it should be!
pppd pty 'pppoe -I eth0' => no error-reply
ifconf => shows still only eth0
ifconf ppp0 up => still no ppp0
that's were i'm stuck right now.
after i read the man pages.
next would be getting any and all doc's about pppoe/adsl and reading the
scripts, but i'm not confident on that.
i would be really glad if you have any hint for me...

p.s. should have been sending this msg some hours before, to be as
instant as you, but i tried and read and tried and ... you know...
