Re: Using DSL connection.

[chioufd sas upenn edu (Fu-Dong Chiou)]

I assume you get multiple IPs through your ISP, which is not the case for my ISP.  I 
downloaded RPPPPoE and installed it, and I am now connected.  One question remains 
though, that is, although I can use telnet and netscape, ftp and ssh do not seem to 
be working at all.  Where should I look for the cause of the problem?  Thanks!
