<pre wrap="">Hi
I am wanting to get pppoa up and running on a redhat linux box, i have
put the modem in to bridge mode and have tried wtih pppoe but unable to
connect something about "Timeout waiting for PADO packets". I can not
find any infomation about pppoa on linux besides USB modems and they
come with their own software. Has anybody used linux to connect on
tiscali ADSL ?

I googled it:

However, its no longer being maintained so YMMV. You won't be able to use
PPPoE for PPPoA since the protocol is totally different. Broadband
providers are phasing out PPPoA in favor of PPPoE though, perhaps because
there is more support for it.
Why are you doing bridging on your router and not simply handling the
conversion from PPPoA to Ethernet on the router?

firewalls,etc,etc and i also want to run my own webserver. Its more
about the learning really. <br>
