    I'm a linux newbie, and I've just signed up for SBC DSL Internet Access, and
    I'm having a world of trouble getting it to work with Linux. After speaking
    with the tech support idiots (they told me Linux doesn't support DSL), I've
    spent quite a bit of time trolling the internet for answers.

    I'm running Suse 8.2, I have a Speedstream DSL modem that SBC gave me,
    connected via Ethernet. I installed Roaring Penguin's RP-PPPOE but it still
    won't recognize the modem and the connection won't work.

    Does anyone use SBC or a similar service that can help me out getting it up
    and running? It already works on my windows computer, so I don't need to
    sign up with them, just get linux to recognize the connection. Also, as far
    as the Ethernet settings, should DHCP be turned on for this, or should I use
    a static IP address?

    Thanks,

    Casey Petersen
