Thanks for the reply!
I have been reading that fine document for three days--in fact, I have 
most it memorized.
I built rp-pppoe from the source (v 3.5) and edited the 
/etc/pppoe.conf.  Then I did the ol' adsl-start and it said I was 
connected.  But I can't ping an ip address or a domain name and I can't 
connect to any sites.  I can say that I edited all sorts of other 
things to set my hostname and so I probably borked something.  Easier 
to install from scratch than try to retrace my wandering steps.

Two questions:  how do I set the hostname from the command line (and 
make it stick so that I don't have to reset it at every boot)?  If I 
leave it as is (localhost.localdomain127.0.0.1) I'm suspecting that 
will mess up sendmail/postfix.
Do I need another line with a fake addy (what addy?) and my hostname?

Thanks for any help,
Jeff
