To make my life more simple, I'll use hpijs.
But, back to the Internet.
I've decided that my problem is with the ppp0 bit. If I prompt (or, what is the term) ifconfig ppp0, it says essentially, that the device does not exist. This is after I've run pppoeconf.
How do I create a ppp device?
I haven't done much with ppp myself, but aren't ppp devices/connections brought up with pon <provider> where provider is a file in /etc/ppp/peers/ ?
To make it automatic, in /etc/network/interfaces I think you can do
[...] auto ppp0 iface ppp0 ppp provider <provider> [...]
or
iface ppp0 wvdial
to use wvdial
I think... checking man interfaces this seems correct, but like I said I don't have any experience doing it myself.
