Hi,

Has anyone try pptp with PPPOE? I'm currently subscribed to sympatico.ca
for their ADSL service. 
My pptp server has stopped working since they introduced PPPOE which
uses pppd to establish a connection over ethernet.
I'm running Redhat 6.0, pppd 2.3.10 with MPPE patch, kernel 2.2.9.
The following is taken from the messages log.

Thanks for your time.
