It is linked to ppp0 which presents itself as the internet connector. ADSL in Germany (if you don't have a router) works like this: >From the wall socket your telephone line (ISDN) goes to a splitter. >From there one line goes to the ISDN box and further to the ISDN devices. The other line goes to the DSL modem and from there to the NIC in the pc. Software used is the pppoe package. > I will try to give more help when I see your answers. I appreciate the time you waste in this. wobo
