The real question comes from a lower level. With DSL, at least, the question the first level staff finds baffling is how the DSL connection is wrapped. Is it straight Ethernet look alike with no encapsulation or is it wrapped PPPoE? But a little experimentation can usually solve that issue. And my suspicion is that PPPoE is used almost exclusively on all new DSL connections.
ah, that's a good point. i never had to worry about that since the first thing i did was drop a linksys WAP router + 4-port switch next to the DSL modem, and the linksys understood PPPoE, so i didn't have to go the roaring penguin route. works great.
