I have been trying to get my ADSL service to work with linux using the instructions found on http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/hoe_adsl_pppoe.html I installed pppoed from Suse 7.0 CD. I am enclosing the most recent log output from today's configuration and testing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My ADSL service provider will provide no technical support for use of ADSL with linux. Thanks. Mike michael.flug@snet.net Log output from /var/log/messages shows activity based on re-boot and then an attempt to start ADSL services using command /usr/sbin/pppoed : Feb 4 11:17:18 linux syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
