This is true, but I found rp-pppoe (www.roaringpenguin.com) to be very good and
easy to use. Here in the south side of Chicago the only choice for DSL is
Ameritech, the regional Bell operating company, which has a well-deserved
reputation for bad service. When I told them I use Linux they said they
couldn't provide service. I had to convince them I didn't need their so-called
``support.'' rp-pppoe worked with a minimum of futzing.

Do not permit a woman to ask forgiveness, for that is only the first
step.  The second is justification of herself by accusation of you.
