Excellent. I was using the normal pppd and the roaring pengiun PPPoE stuff under 2.4

My next experiment was going to see if i could use the kernel based PPPoE stuff in 2.4, glad to hear it works.

Was your ethernet interface DHCPed from the 3Com box? Maybe it only lets in clients it has DHCPed?
What was the "correct username/password" I couldn't guess one so i went in on the serial port and added a new user for myself.

Cool, it occured to me after packing everything back up (i was testing this at a friends place ADSL isn't installed at my place yet - god let the lines be good at my place), that i might be able to just point the browser at 192.168.157.100 to get the web interface. I wasn't sure if it was the modem or the windows software producing the web interface though.
