My DSL (not Ameritech) came with Netscape and WinPOET that had to be installed first. I got on line the ID and PW, and entered them into the Router. When the Router connected I got rid of all the additional software, and Dialup installation that is dished by the PPPOE arrangement.

Most of all your routers have PPPoE build in so you just have to set it up in the router.

Yes, if you get DSL/Cable gateway device (i.e. Netgear 311, 314, et all) the you won't have to have the PPP client on your computer.
