Subject: Re: Ubuntu 6.06.1 problems
I don't know if this would help since I have cable, not DSL, but a man -k
DSL on ubuntu 6.06 pointed me at:
PPPOECONF(8)
PPPOECONF(8)

NAME

SYNOPSIS
       pppoeconf


DESCRIPTION
       The pppoeconf program is userfriendly dialog based setup tool for
pppoe
       and pppd. It will look for existing ethernet cards and  look  for
