Yeah, I did it once (turning Alcatel to PPPoE). It worked great until I discovered that it has some issues with "redialing". I mean, after (for some reason) the connection drops, it has some bug with reconnecting. At least that's my experience.
More likely a PPPoE client or ISP issue.

As far as I learned about this - PPPoE vs. PPTP has nothing to do with the telco's exchange. PPPoE and PPTP are used only between the computer and the modem, once the data reaches the modem it (the modem) tucks it into PPPoA (PPP over ATM) and sends it into Bezeq's ATM cloud.
Is Jess around to approve/deny this?
Who is Jess?
Jess is the reason that 012.net now support Linux. She used to work for their technical support. She is, however, not subscribed to this list.
While in no way a Jess replacement, I can confirm this. I even have the instructions somewhere as to how to make an Alcatel Home modem talk PPPoE instead of PPTP. It does NOT require making it into a Pro. It does not require new firmware. It does NOT require a technician password. Sadly, the modem cannot be made to talk both protocols simultaniously.
