I don't want to configure the modem as a router. The man page for pppoeconf says it is just a user friendly program to set up pppoe. My problem is that pppoeconf cannot find the access accumulator (the dsl modem). The ppp-connect-errors log is full of "Waiting for PADQ packet" lines. I have studied the DSL-HOWTO (dated?) and the pppoe man page and am not much wiser. For the present the old modem is working fine and I must wait until Monday when the rest of the family is at work so I am free to bring the system down and experiment with the new modem. > The public IP address is > acquired by the modem.
