However, no /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf file shows up. locate pppoe.conf on my system reports: /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf /usr/local/rp-pppoe-3.5/configs/pppoe.conf I think that 'adsl-setup' should have created a 'pppoe.conf' file. Where it was placed, I'm not sure. > Then I start adsl and get: ipchains: protocol not available.
