It works in Ubuntu too!
1. Get your all numeric "encrypted" password string using the info provided in the link I sent you. Here it is again. http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-82441.html
2. In Ubuntu, setup your eth0.
3. At a terminal, do "sudo pppoeconf" and follow the steps. Username as is used in windows and password as generated above.
You are done!
I'm hopping around with joy! I finally got my Linux box to connect through Pacenet.
Well, I only checked <www.yahoo.com> before hopping back into win32 to send this mail. And I think there is the issue of "pon dsl-provider" and "poff" which I haven't tried out yet. I wonder whether I have to set the dsl-provider to anything else or not in my previous attempts. Also, I don't know yet how Ubuntu will handle the arbitrary service outages (having error codes 25xxx) that the Pacenet dialer handles in win32.
