Hello,

I've at home a connection of ISDN-BRI and ADSL to my phone/Internet
provider; BRI and ADSL get splitted in a so called ISDN-splitter, from
which a line goes to a DSL modem (Thomson speedTouch 536i) which is
connected via Ethernet to a WLAN/WAN router (SMCWBR14-G2).

Actually I have the problem that DSL is not connecting (while BRI is
fine). The WLAN of the router is fine too, i.e. I can connect to the
router management interface (HTTP), but this does not give much help on
trouble-shooting. I have had this already sometimes in the past and I want
to nail this down and kicking out the WLAN/WAN router, connecting my
FreeBSD laptop directly to the DSL modem. The router has a configured
PPPoE connection for the WAN interface.

What kind of software I could use in FreeBSD? There is some port
net/rp-pppoe but the man pages speaks about incoming connections?
What else?

I'm hoping that with better log files directly on the FreeBSD side I
can figure out what's wrong with my DSL line/provider/modem?

Thx

	matthias
