description
The
pppoeconf program is user-friendly dialog based setup
tool for pppd (and pppoe if needed). It will
look for existing ethernet cards and look for ADSL hardware
connected to one of them. You can add an interface name
iface to force pppoeconf to use it. Then it will get
some login info and do some minor modifications to make
working settings. Note that you can use ESC key to exit
program when you wan.
