Its is a shame to I pay good money for a DSL connection and nobody at "MA
BELL" can tell me how to configure PPPoE for Linux, much less have any clue
about Linux.  I hope that someone here can help me find the appropriate NIC
driver and PPPoE software.  I have a Kingston 10/100 KNE110TX NIC and an
Alcatel 5260 modem, standard issues from Bell.  I am running Mandrake 7.0,
and was told buy Kingston to use the "tulip" driver supplied with Mandrake.
I downloaded PPPoE software (enternet100src.zip) from the  63.196.151.75
site.  I followed the directions for installation as stated.  I ran ifconfig
and got a response, but when I tried to execute then command start-pppoe, I
got a usage error message saying $USERID not recognized by pppd.  I cannot
call anyone for tech support at Bell because as mentioned, they don't have a
clue, and NTS, the PPPoE software provider, doesn't give tech support
period.  I surely would appreciate any advice as I am a newbie at Linux.

Thanks,

Did you enter your username and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets ? It seems to not recognize your username.
Can you ping Bells server?
