Depends on your adsl equipment. If the adsl modem is also a router then you don't use ppp, just a default gateway in the routing table. If the adsl modem lets you setup a VPN then you do need ppp to connect to the modem. Maybe you have to run some adsl setup script first?

well my gateway is attached to a linksys router
I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean with "my gateway", but if the linksys connects the ADSL then you just need to set the right route info and setup the linksys for your ADSL connection with username, password, provider etc. # route add -net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 # route add default gw 192.168.2.2 dev eth0 IP# and devices are examples ofcourse.
