Re: Yeah, right. It IS a good deal...
Also, not to mention, Rchandra.
It Does matter where you authenticate. Took them over 9 months to get a DSLAM local to me, in Chicago.
Until that time, My Ping times were in the averages of 1800ms
Terrible, huh?
When they got the one in Chicago, which is still about 4 hours from me, It dropped instantaneously to about 140ms which is still rediculously high. But I can deal with it.
Anyways, *Frowns*, It could just be my ISP *Knows it is but don't want to admit it*
And yea, you are right about most of it.
FYI, RChandra: You are more knowledgeable than 99% of the IT staff at my ISP *laughs hard* | |

| Good God...please...understand that one, PPP is inherent to PPPoA, and two, authentication is part of PPP. You don't use a separate PVC or something for authentication, and another for your data; it all goes to/comes from the same place. It's just that auth packets have a different type identifier than IP packets. I think that technically, it's possible to send ATM cells to different places (e.g., along a different VPI/VCI), but that it's extraordinarily unlikely to make such distinctions based on PPP packet type. Heck, I've been wrong before, but I don't think so on this one.
