Hi

My DSL modem has problem. I would like to use linux as

ppp.

...

How can I configure it?

Well, you need ppp and wvdial installed (should be on your install disk(s)).

With these installed, you can configure it with system-config-network -- select "New", then "Modem connection" and follow the steps.

Thank you

I've just gotten DSL for the first time myself (I've had cable before)...but the DSL modem I got from Verizon has an ethernet jack. I plugged that into my system, and I can ping the modem. *If* I understand this, then it seems that the modem is masquerading, NATing, and I don't need to do anything like pppoe.

Of course, I'll know more Saturday, when, three weeks after they allegedly turned up my phone service, I'll have the outside line fixed so I have dialtone....

Once the user name and password are set in the DSL modem you are ready to roll. (assuming you have a dialtone and they have configured your line properly.....) Our ZTE ADSL modem will do a lot of things, if I let it. I have it plugged into our IPCop box and then to the Netgear switch and our home LAN is online. I do have the ADSL modem set up to provide DHCP (which we normally get from the IPCop box) and I disconnected the IPCop box and connected the ADSL modem directly to my box, a couple of weeks ago, to be sure the problem wasn't with my IPCop box, Switch, etc. You can set the DNS servers (I use OpenDNS.com) in the modem. When you connect to it via the web interface, It will show you the line speed, down and up, so you can see that you are getting what you are paying for. :-)
