I worked through the eciadsl driver routine and sent all my details eg output from route -n and the various logs, etc that they asked for and they said that once the driver had synchronysed and was waiting for tap0 then tap0 was up then it was over to the pppoe stuff. I have the latest pppd and rp-pppoe as they suggested. Of course I do, this is fedora we're talking about right! But I feel that I'm missing some really basic step. This networking caper is about the hardest thing I've found to understand ever.

Hello people,
I have been having some difficulties getting my usb modem to work in linux. Of course my first is stupidity in not insisting that my ISP send me an ethernet one. But now I've got it I want to try and get it going.
I've got it to the stage where the usb drivers are working but I.m having
difficulty getting the pppoe side of things to work. Has anyone on the
list done this before? Would you be able to guide me though the process of
getting the adsl connection up and running.

Hi Shelagh, I have this running reliably over AOL server. There there was an issue which needed the 'penggy' code to establish the connection. Perhaps you should give a little more info about your connection, and current problem. E.g.: How do you know the driver is working? USB DSL modems get a bad press, but mine seems stable now it is working Bill
I've looked though the troubleshooting section of rp-pppoe documentation and can't really see where I'm going wrong.
The message I get after starting adsl-start is
/sbin/adsl-start: line 218: 2996 terminated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1
I looked at line 218 in the script hoping it might give me a clue, but scripting is stiil an archane art as far as I'm concerned.
I tried DEBUG=1 adsl-start to see if I might be able to trace a problem but it tells me to use adsl-start not adsl-connect. So something seems wrong there.
Hope this helps you.
I'm quite prepared to recompile what I have to, if you think its necessary.
