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 ...

Speed 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.
