When I first configured my dsl connection on linux, I was on Caldera ... I did the manual kernel rebuild method ... the dsl box of mine is currently on redhat 7.1 and from what I recall, it's built right in as a user-mode type app ...
Note the "S80pppoe" link below ...

I just moved to an apartment where I'll be getting MTS ADSL (Shaw HighSpeed is not available). How do I set up Linux to use it? I know you need to use PPPoE, but I don't know how to do that. I have heard that you need to make other adjustments to take proper advantage of it. I'm getting "Starter DSL" (to start with), but I don't think that makes a difference. I'm currently running both Red Hat 7.2 and Gentoo 1.1a. How do I set things up? Thanks.
