After a couple of requests the standard config as shipped will change to
ADSLNZ in place of XTRA but Craig is quite correct, you can delete the
connection in the PPP section and then in the Phonebook, create a new
phonebook entry and then a new PPP entry. If you do, remember to turn on
CHAP, "Always on" for connection. Pleased to hear the LAN1 guys were a
help.

Yes it can be done from the HTTP Interface :-) You have to remove the
connection associated with this NAME and then you can remove it and add
a new one name whatever you like.

The new version of the software in the future I have been told will have
the pinholes set up via the web interface..
