FW: [ale] Connecting to BellSouth DSL with Linux

[Bryan Owens]

Amazing, This should also work with Mindspring/Earthlink as well.


Forget BellSouth's PPPoE program and get Roaring Penguin at:

http://www.roaringpenguin.com

Once it is installed. just run adsl-setup and it will walk you through
the steps. You just need your user name and password and the addresses
of the DNS servers and you can answer all the questions in setup. When
it asks for your user name, be sure to include the domain name, as in
"user at bellsouth.net".  This client is the most stable and easy to use.
