Well, it has to be something that the ntl hardware throughout thier
network will be able to route and transport, ifnot first to aol to thier
authentication server.

im getting more convinced that you have pppoe (ppp over ethernet), which
would allow aol to easily integrate the ntl broadband with thier
existing pppoe or pppoatm adsl service.

go on, try pppoe :-) , the roaring penguine one is apparently the one to
use.
