PPPoE instead of PPTP on Bezeq ADSL - howto

[Doron Shikmoni]

Hi all,

Bezeq's installation instructions for ADSL user require setting up a PPTP VPN (tunnel).
It seems as if many people believe that this is a firm requirement, and that it would not
be possible to use different schemes - case in point, PPPoE - to connect to ADSL,
because "Bezeq does not support PPPoE". A bunch of low-cost home/SOHO routers
come equipped with a PPPoE client, but not with a PPTP client. By many, they are
thought to be "unusable in Israel".
(PPPoE is common in the US and in many other parts of the world, as the protocol
of choice to connect to ADSL).

Well, you can do it now. If you want to do away with PPTP, and use PPPoE to connect
to Bezeq's ADSL, you are invited to read over the instructions at:
http://www.isoc.org.il/~doron/PPPoE.html .
(at this point, the document deals with the Alcatel ADSL modem. I hope to be able
to update it for other types as well).

Comments welcome.

Enjoy!
Doron
