# LIC: GPLpppoe: a PPP-over-Ethernet redirector for pppdCopyright (C) 2001-2005 Roaring Penguin Software Inc.Some inspiration from an earlier client by Luke Stras.The MSS clamping was inspired by mssclampfw by Marc Boucher <marc@mbsi.ca>with acknowledgements to Rebel.com (http://www.rebel.com).  However, theactual MSS clamping code is original and is licensed under the GPL, unlikethe original mssclampfw.Introduction============pppoe is a user-space redirector which permits the use of PPPoE(Point-to-Point Over Ethernet) with Linux.  PPPoE is used by manyDSL service providers.Installation============Requirements------------1) Linux 2.2.9 or later on Intel, Sparc or PowerPC.  It may work on   Alpha, too -- anyone care to let me know?	   OR   Linux 2.0.36 or later.	   OR   FreeBSD, NetBSD or OpenBSD with BPF support.  I have access only   to FreeBSD.  In general, I can't answer questions about the *BSD's   as well as I can about Linux.2) pppd 2.3.10 or later.  Versions 2.3.7 and later work unless you use   demand-dialling.  For demand dialling, you *must* use 2.3.10 or later.QUICKSTART----------If you're lucky, the "quickstart" method will work.  After unpackingthe archive, become root and type:	./goThis should configure, compile and install the software and set up yourDSL connection.  You'll have to answer a few questions along the way.If you want the GUI wrapper, type:	./go-guiIf ./go and ./go-gui didn't work, read the rest of this README.Compiling---------Compile and install pppd if you don't already have it.  Then:1) Unpack:	$ tar xzvf rp-pppoe-xxx.tar.gz2) Change to source directory:	$ cd src3) Configure:	$ ./configure4) Compile:	$ make4) Install (this step must be done as root)	# make install5) Now read doc/HOW-TO-CONNECT--David F.
