I do not know the kernel version/config.. but search for Rusty's 3 step process for

I currently use BellSouth (or HellSouth as It was earlier referred to) as my provider. I ended up using Roaring Penguin PPPoE software without any hitches through an Alcatel SpeedTouchHome DSL/Ethernet Modem and a firewall software, that I can't seem to get working, called PointMan.

I have read the how-tos at linuxdoc until I am about blue in the face. It has taken me a while to get this far due to other obligations. It's obvious that I am missing something essential to solving my problem.

I'm sure by now I have just slightly more than zero. None the less I still have more to learn and I'm loving every minute of it. :)
