ADSL connection

[Alex White]

Have you tried doin' it from the command line? Also check your log "/var/log/messages" I think holds pppd errors and stuff. I could be wrong about that I haven't checked in a while.

"adsl-setup" will setup adsl for you (you have to answer some simple questions.
"adsl-start" will start it up. It'll tick off until it connect. 
"adsl-stop" does the obvious.

You'll get an error string from adsl-start if it doesn't connect within the timeout range. I think it's 60 seconds but I could be mistaken about that.
