Re: Duh
I think that PPPoE in DSL is useless. I guess that it was planned as a temporary solution to move dial-up customers, but kept way too long now. Seriously, what's the point of having it these days? I have both cable and DSL and I find pppoe to be a weakness of DSL.
My cable is down like this only if there is maintenance on the line. |

Qwest w/ 3rd party ISP had PPPoA configured right on the Cisco 675, so no PC-based client was required.
Embarq creates a L2 bridge via an RFC1483 tunnel and serves up IP address info via DHCP to clients.
This is definitely one of those "your mileage may vary" items. |

| ATT requires PPPoE they have it built into the router/modem. But thats only after you install their AT$T Yahoo! Software. |
