It works.
Turns out there was no need for pppoe, or pppoatm, or any of that sort of
thing. All that was necessary was to have the ethernet card on the same
subnet as the router-modem. 'arp' finds the modem and gives its MAC;
'route' lists it as the default gateway.
I do have /etc/sysconfig/network thus:
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4="yes"
HOSTNAME=""
DOMAINNAME=
GATEWAY="192.168.0.1"
GATEWAYDEV="eth0"
Otherwise, there's no change. I'm going to tear down the modem stuff at
some point, but it's nice to have it there in case something happens to the
DSL network, I suppose. I will take the dialup off the task-bar, though...
Dunno what a multi-Mb pipe would be like, but DSL does put dialup to shame!
