For my DSL setup I just use DHCP (on ethernet). No PPPoE here. The
computers don't even know DSL is involved -- that is handled entirely
by the Cisco 677 ethernet<->dsl bridge my ISP provided. What hardware

They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
