NAME
       pppoeconf -- configures a PPPoE (ADSL) connection

SYNOPSIS
       pppoeconf [-nox]  [iface]

DESCRIPTION
       The pppoeconf program is user-friendly dialog based setup tool for pppd
       (and pppoe if needed). It will look for  existing  ethernet  cards  and
       look  for ADSL hardware connected to one of them. You can add an inter-
       face name iface to force pppoeconf to use it. Then it will get some lo-
       gin info and do some minor modifications to make working settings. Note
       that you can use ESC key to exit program when you want.
