looking at
http://www.dlink.com.au/products/broadband/dsl200/

it says
"The DSL-200 supports Static IP, Dynamic IP, as well as PPPoE/PPPoA and
Bridge connections terminating on the local PCs."

Firstly, don't modems just convert digital to analogue and vice versa,
and dial numbers. They would just provide the connection, withot
knowing about PPP's username, and passord. So 'd have thought that all
modems 'support ppp' as they should any computer protocol since it's
just a digital signal.

Secondly,how can you have PPPoE i.e. PPP over ethernet, on a
non-ethernet modem?
