Only pppoa is used in the uk except for a small elite in Hull.

Your 9.2 should work with no problems on Man 9.2 and indeed with 8.0
Your Man would not see any of the PPPoA anyway as this is on the analogue
interface before the LAN.

I assume you are using an adsl router and you do not mean bog standard
router. If that is the case no chance. get yourself an adsl router, all
work usually work with PPPoA.
