Hi Serge,

root@annuminas:~ # cat /etc/sysconfig/nic/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
MODULE="8139too"
DHCP=yes
IP=
NETMASK=
BROADCAST=""

I couldn't find a /etc/sysconfig/ppp/pptpadsl.conf. I found a /etc/ppp/pptpadsl.conf but I don't think it's used (it looks like a bunch of commented default values)

root@annuminas:~ # cat /etc/ppp/pptpadsl.conf 
#START_PPTPADSL=yes
#PPTPADSL_IP="10.0.0.138"
#PPTPADSL_USER="username@IProvider"
#PPTPADSL_REMOTENAME="10.0.0.138 RELAY_PPP1"
#PPTPADSL_PASSWORD="password"
#PPTPADSL_MTU="1452"
#PPTPADSL_FLAGS=

To start ADSL the gateway seems to use /etc/init.d/adsl, which calls pppoe-start and pppoe-stop. I'll paste the relevant config file, and hope the mails is not too long:

root@annuminas:~ # cat /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
#***********************************************************************
#
# pppoe.conf
#
# Configuration file for rp-pppoe.  Edit as appropriate and install in
# /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf

# NOTE: This file is used by the pppoe-start, pppoe-stop, pppoe-connect and

# When you configure a variable, DO NOT leave spaces around the "=" sign.

# Ethernet card connected to DSL modem
ETH='eth0'

# PPPoE user name.  You may have to supply "@provider.com"  Sympatico
# users in Canada do need to include "@sympatico.ca"
# Sympatico uses PAP authentication.  Make sure /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
# contains the right username/password combination.
# For Magma, use xx...@ma...
USER='me@mydslprovider'

# Bring link up on demand?  Default is to leave link up all the time.
# If you want the link to come up on demand, set DEMAND to a number indicating
# the idle time after which the link is brought down.
DEMAND=no
#DEMAND=300

# DNS type: SERVER=obtain from server; SPECIFY=use DNS1 and DNS2;
# NOCHANGE=do not adjust.
DNSTYPE=SERVER

# Obtain DNS server addresses from the peer (recent versions of pppd only)
# In old config files, this used to be called USEPEERDNS.  Changed to
# PEERDNS for better Red Hat compatibility

### ONLY TOUCH THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS IF YOU'RE AN EXPERT

# How long pppoe-start waits for a new PPP interface to appear before
# concluding something went wrong.  If you use 0, then pppoe-start
# exits immediately with a successful status and does not wait for the
# link to come up.  Time is in seconds.
#
# WARNING WARNING WARNING:
#
# If you are using rp-pppoe on a physically-inaccessible host, set
# CONNECT_TIMEOUT to 0.  This makes SURE that the machine keeps trying
# to connect forever after pppoe-start is called.  Otherwise, it will
# give out after CONNECT_TIMEOUT seconds and will not attempt to
# connect again, making it impossible to reach.
CONNECT_TIMEOUT=30

# How often in seconds pppoe-start polls to check if link is up
CONNECT_POLL=2

# File where the pppoe-connect script writes its process-ID.
# Three files are actually used:

#   $PIDFILE.pppoe contains PID of pppoe process
#   $PIDFILE.pppd  contains PID of pppd process
CF_BASE=`basename $CONFIG`

# Do you want to use synchronous PPP?  "yes" or "no".  "yes" is much
# easier on CPU usage, but may not work for you.  It is safer to use
# "no", but you may want to experiment with "yes".  "yes" is generally
# safe on Linux machines with the n_hdlc line discipline; unsafe on others.
SYNCHRONOUS=no

# Do you want to clamp the MSS?  Here's how to decide:
# - If you have only a SINGLE computer connected to the DSL modem, choose
#   "no".
# - If you have a computer acting as a gateway for a LAN, choose "1412".
#   The setting of 1412 is safe for either setup, but uses slightly more
#   CPU power.

########## DON'T CHANGE BELOW UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

# OVERRIDE_PPPD_COMMAND="pppd call dsl"

# If you want pppoe-connect to exit when connection drops:

In the beginning there was nothing. Then, God said, "Let there be light". 
And there was still nothing, but at least you could see it.
