Roaring Penguin PPPoE Version 2.0 has been released. This is a major new release.

Rp-pppoe is a user-mode client for the Point-to-Point Protocol over
Ethernet, a protocol used by many ADSL service providers. It runs with
standard Linux kernels (2.0 or 2.2; no kernel modification required.)
In addition, it now runs on FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD.

Changes from version 1.9:

* The ports to the *BSD operating systems.

* Addition of a PPPoE server as well as the client. This lets you use
your Linux or BSD box as a PPPoE access concentrator, and is useful for
checking the RFC-compliance of other PPPoE clients.

* A fix for a bug in which the client failed when the Host-Uniq tag was
used and the access concentrator sent a cookie.

* Many fixes and improvements to the adsl-* shell scripts.

* Total code reorganization and cleanup.

lol

 

Why would you want to set up PPPoE?
Its a half-assed protocol at best.

 

[Pretender]

how exactly do you plan on having them log onto your system via pppoe? Unless you're a telco or DSL isp, how would a dsl signal even reach you?

 

[phatcow]

hmmm.. yea.. i'm a DSL isp that is trying to lay the smack down to the dead beat dont pay monthly customers

 

[phatcow]

pppoe sux, but there is no better solutions for management than that... or atleast thats what i have read.. thats why the big isps all use PPPoe

Can't you just turn off their DSL serivce? Or are you talking about the people who are routing it to more then one PC?

 

[slipperyslope]

With my SMC router and external DSL modem, I have been completely happy with PPPOE. I don't understand why people complain about it so much.

[phatcow]

to turn off their service, we have to reprovision their dlc in our cisco.... pain in the ass to lock out a customer if they are just gonna pay up and do the same next month.



changing a longinname and password is MUCH easier so the circuit is till active, but no flow



its for delinquent customers... accounting and what not

 

[tim0thy]

are you trying to run an ISP off your DSL line?

 

[phatcow]

nono.. i AM the dsl provider.....




we need a better way...



hmmmm i'm on my home road runner connection now tho.. sooooooo much better....

 

[MrBond]

You're a DSL providor and you don't even use your own service? What's that say about the quality

In all honesty, PPPoE is a huge turn off to me. I'd never go with a dsl providor that used it. I have a feeling after you turn off their serivce a couple of times, and make sure there's a two week wait time to get it reactivated (update your TOS if nessecary) it'll stop the late checks. We had a customer like that with our dialup ISP, she was constantly a month late with her check (and she paid monthly), so when we did get the check, she'd be already expired for the current month. We finally put a 30day exentsion on her account to keep her active, but it turns out she'd wait for the account to expire, wait for the normal extension to expire, call us, ask for an extension claiming the check was on the way, and call once more with a CC number after that exentsion was gone. I think she finally left us as a customer, as I haven't talked to her in some time. It was something we let slip too long, and she got used to it.

its partly our routing... and partly its cheeper...

i dont want to pay verizon 200 dollars for a setup and a modem....
