Bezeq does not "turn off" PPTP, or "turn on" PPPoE for that matter, at any time. Nor do they need to "support" these protocols in any way.
PPTP is spoken between your PC (or router) and the modem. Bezeq (or the ISP) do not "see" PPTP (or PPPoE). They are not aware, and can not be aware, of your using either of these protocols. What they see, in *all* of the cases, is PPPoA. (To make it absolutely clear, they see PPPoA whether you're using (a) PPTP (b) PPPoE or (c) a router or SpeedTouch Pro doing PPP).
I wouldn't rush to buy a new modem unless it is absolutely clear that the one you have is faulty. Try to use your modem with a friend's ADSL line, or bring in another modem on loan, to narrow down on the problem.
Good luck Doron

suggestion: try using the blue samsumg modem that your isp should be able to provide. bezeqint provided me with one when they switched me from pptp to pppoe (did so without asking me even).
i had a similar problem when they switched me from PPTP to PPPoE ... i ended up having to play with the alcatel modem for a couple weeks but even that modem with its internal goodies (it has a router built-in) was not able to connect ... so i ended up connecting with their samsung blue modem ... and yes, it is "true" (according to the several Bezeq and Bezeqint.net support staffers i spoke with) that they don't like to support PPTP on their dsl lines, so once you have a PPPoE modem, they *do* turn off your PPTP ... this is their policy since at least 5 months now...
i hope that helps...

Thanks. I 'm aware of that button. I dthis reset this morning but it didn't help. Actcom support (a Debian user himself, it turned) said that as far as he's aware once Bezeq notices you use PPPoE they'll support on PPPoE on the line. Bezeq support denied this. Bezeq support also said they don't support PPPoE on that modem and the only thing they can tell me to do is to reset the modem.
My next line of options:
1. Test it with the Windows machine connected directly to the modem. 2. Upgrade the modem to PRO and use its dialer.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

There is a small button (about a size of a pinhead) at the back of the modem. Use it to reset the modem to factory defaults. Reboot the modem (disconnect/connect the power) and let it sync.After that it should work with PPTP.

Hello,work either
I've followed the instructions of enabling PPPoE on Linux as described at http://www.isoc.org.il/~doron/PPPoE.html and it worked at first but now after a reboot it stopped.
I get multiple messages like "Timeout waiting for PADO packets"
and some "Timeout waiting for PADS packets". I tried configuraing
the modem back to the PPTP setup but the old PPTP doesn't
(gives same messages, but much less of them).--
The modem is an ethernet SpeedTouch Home, debian unstable. ISP is actcom. Kernel is 2.4.20 with mppe and preemptive patches.
I googled for the error message but it looks like people mostly suspect the line or the ISP, not the setup. Also the PPTP broke so I don't know where to proceed.
Any hints anyone?
Thanks,
