Hi,

I am setting up a new Debian system and essentially changing a RedHat server
to be a Debian Server. In RedHat the system uses RHPPPOE from roaring
penguin Debian uses PPPOE.

I used pppoeconf on the Debian system and it stepped through setting up the
connection it detects the adsl line and even puts the correct nameservers
into the /etc/resolv.conf file. The only thing is when I do a ifconfig there
is no ppp0 and no internet connection is present.

I was hoping I could get the adsl to work with the standard tools provided
by Debian, does anyone know why this would happen I thought that the
standard stuff should just work.

The roaring penquin site appears to only have rpms and I couldn't see any
deb or source options. Should I use rhpppoe rpms or is there something
simple I am missing with pppoe and bigpond adsl.

Any suggestions would be apreciated


Kind Regards,
Anthony Irwin
