YDL 2.3/iBook/ethnet - DSL

[Brian]

Howdy All,

Yup.  I tried create an xDSL connection via the Network Configuration tool
several times, and was sure to set it to DHCP.  No luck on any account.

I took a careful look at the installed packaged under YLDL 2.3, and did find the
Roaring Penguin v3.3 for PPPoE.  Apparently, Earthlink requires me to configure
for PPPoE (my OS X is set up for the same, luckily without difficulty).
However, there seems to be a missing file "adsl-setup"), which in all the
documentation on line seems to be required.  I read the Man pages for PPPOE,
Adsl*, etc.  and wasn't able to come up with anything that made sense.  There's
a "see also" under the PPPOE man page of pppoe.conf(5) - but my system reports
no such man page...

I feel like I'm slowly honing in on a possible solution, but it's very
frustrating.  Any other suggestions or shared experiences in getting Earthlink
DSL (pppoe) running would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
