Openwrt and pppoe

[Scott Howell]

THanks Jim, ok I did copy that info from the faq page which was  
incredibly helpful. The good news is at least I can unset everything  
if it doesn't work correctly. I'm not saving a pile of cash by  
switching to dsl, but I'm just so damned tired of the cable company  
as they can't run a business, its time to see what Verizon will do  
for me.
I'm going to ask them to send me a modem only, not the router. Thanks  
also for the offer of landline assistance.
