Yeah, once it is in PPPoA mode all the rest of the configuration is done in the PPPoE dialer. In the case of linux you set usernames and passwords in the usual /etc/ppp config files.

Also, setting it into PPPoA mode is a once of, the modem writes to a configuration file so that on power-on it goes into PPPoA mode. After the once only configuration into PPPoA mode all the remaining setup is on the client machine.

I'll try and verify it can be set into PPPoA mode via telnet sometime soon.
