Alot of PPPoE problems are attributed to the PPPoE software vendor they use. Do you know what Nevada Bell uses just out of curiosity?

Earthlink I believe (I may be totaly wrong) uses WinPoet for PPPoE. It is my opinion that Enternet is a better choice, less overhead and therefore less problems. In any case I am just biased against PPPoE since it has consumed more of my time with VPN problems than any other occurance.
