I actually have a Lynksys router and it works amazingly well. I'm just
trying to get this PPPoE on Linux package working so I can use that as a
hub, and learn all that there is to learn in the process. I also want to
use the Linux box as an FTP server, have you tried to portmap your linux box
through the router?
Any further advice on the RP-PPPoE would be appreciated as well. :)
