They'll provide bridges, which we plan to put Netopia R9100 Ethernet routers behind. The R9100's support PPPoE, and will terminate the PPPoE session and provide NAT, etc as needed. I'm imagining that I'll be able to specify anything that I could normally specify in a PPP profile, including routing a subnet, but I haven't tested it yet. Sound, er, sound? (This is all in the wake of NorthPoint's turning into a smoking crater. We have a bunch of Netopia routers that it's cheaper to turn into Ethernet routers with a bridge in front than anything else.) > > [mailto:owner-ascend-users at max.bungi.com]On Behalf Of Peter Lalor > > Sent: 30 March 2001 18:41 > > > > Is anyone doing DSL with PPPoE and a DSL Terminator?
