Is there anywhere that I can go to get more information about this?  I've 
had BS ADSL for almost 2 years now (from the moment the offerred in 
Atlanta).  I'm now on my 4th IP.  The 3rd was for about 11 months, and was 
only switched because I had to change the MAC adrs.  I remember hearing the 
tech guy be surprised that I was 'on a bridged connection' when he was 
looking up my info.  I really don't know anything about this pppox - but I 
was very happy when I switched to Lunix to find out that I didn't have to 
use it to connect....

Any info would be great!

TIA
