Hiya-

I am sure if I really had thoroughly RTFM at "Roaring Penguin":

http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/

and:

http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~mostrows/

I would know that with my 2.4.x kernel (with pppoe support
compiled in), to get DSL going with PacBell what I needed to do
was to install:

rp-pppoe-2.5-4 as an rpm

get:

ppp-2.4.0-pppoe4.tgz

and de-archive and compile the tarball, install it, then edit
/etc/ppp/options (replace my_user_id with YOUR user id!):

# cat options
plugin /usr/lib/pppd/plugins/pppoe.so
name my_user_id

and also /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (replace my_pap_passwd with YOUR
passwd!):

# cat pap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
"my_user_id" * "my_pap_passwd"

Then launch:

/usr/sbin/adsl-setup

answer all the questions fully and truthfully, then launch:

/usr/sbin/adsl-start

and sit back to enjoy the Web at DSL speed!

Instead I mucked around and mucked around with "No response to
PAP authentication requests", etc., then finally did the above,
THEN sat back to enjoy...

P.S. I am posting this so it will be there in DejaNews for
others; I did a fairly extensive Web search while trying to
troubleshoot my connection, and I did not find much there for
2.4.x kernel users.

RoaringPenguin has rp-pppoe 2.8 out, which is an upgrade for kernel 2.4!

And use the RPM it's easier. rpm -Uhv rp-pppoe*.rpm
make sure you are in a console window as root

Thanks for the update. If you read my message, even the part you
snipped, you'll see I did use an RPM.

Stuff sure downloads faster with DSL!
