Re: [Linux-ATM-General] Q: How to go about troubleshooting a DSL provisioning issue?

[Guy E. <gu...@tr...>]

Hi Philip,

Unfortunately auto-detecting PPP links as totally inpractical - you 
would have to send out an LCP request on every PVC!

Based on your later emails, it looks like you should used bridged ethernet.

See section 4 of the Geos Linux User Manual for tips.
If your ISP uses DHCP then bring the interface up unnumbered

ifconfig nas0 up


Where is the user manual you ask?
If you go to the Geos product page, there is a link for the Linux User 
Manual top RHS...

Cheers,

  - Guy.
