Hi, Hal:

"...do I really need PPP support too??"

 Yes!!

 I use Slackware and I used Roaring Penguin for several years
until one year ago (when I switched from aDSL to cable).  I
started with Earthlink (which had excellent support) and later
switched to Ameritech/SBC/Yahoo (which had horrible support).

 It seems to me that you did not describe any problem and you
asked a very specific question.  I am unwilling to offer further
information until you describe your setup.

Best regards, Chuck
