You seem to be confused on your terms. The term "PPPoA" means
Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (Asyncronous Transfer Mode). I
seriously doubt you're running ADSL over ATM. ;-)
He could be right, in the UK PPPoE is very rare most providers instead
prefer to present their ADSL connections as pure ATM circuits requiring
PPPoA.
There's a nice little racket on ebay.co.uk at the moment with someone
selling 'Nortel E20B ethernet modems' and advertising them as operating
in RFC1483 bridge mode i.e. PPPoE which they do. The seller does not
however tell people that the units won't easily work with PPPoA
connections as found in the UK.
Money for old rope!
