Hi David,

rp-pppoe works well with Sympatico (on Redhat).  Make sure you try the
/sbin/adsl-start script that comes with it (instead of any
distro-specific ways to start network interfaces).  I would also
recomend getting the latest version directly from their site:
<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/rp-pppoe/index.php>

And, as the instructions say, *use the source tar.gz or source RPM!*
