Just a slight correction to the above statement: In the ADSL realm,All ISP's in Israel supports PPPoE. Fact is, it's not related to them so much - it's more related to Bezeq, which now officially supports PPPoE with their Samsung external modems (as well as hacked Alcatel modems - but you're on your own now).3. There is no ISP in Israel that supports PPPoE connections (for appliances like routers,etc..)ISP support for PPPoE is not needed. In fact, as Doron Shikmoni pointed
out on this list in the past you can even set the Bezeq supplied Alcatel
modems to workj in PPPoE mode quite easily if you're willing to fiddle with the ADSL modem's setting via it's web interface.
as Gilad correctly noted, the ISPs do not need to "support" PPPoE -
and neither does Bezeq. They both don't get to "see" the PPPoE
(or PPTP for that matter). If your modem can bridge PPPoE into
the ATM cloud, then you can happily do PPPoE. The Alcatel unit does
not need to be "hacked" to do it - you just need to conifgure it differently
from its default setting (see URL below for instructions). The Samsung
units are supplied this way by default (in fact, they just don't support PPTP
relay into PPPoA). I tend to believe the same is doable even with the Orckit
units - I haven't tried it though.
Short form of the above: in ADSL, you can do PPPoE, provided your
modem can do the bridging.
Instructions for configuring the Alcatel unit for PPPoE:

Good luck,
