Mandrake Linux also includes PPPoE software. Based on Red Hat so they may also include it. But to my knowledge these are client apps only, not server. :( -Al -----Original Message----- From: doug@safeport.com [mailto:doug@safeport.com] Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2001 9:32 AM To: Matt Cramer Cc: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: PPPoE server software?

We are looking to test various DSL modems and routers in our lab, but can't get a DSL connection put in that building according to Verizon. I'd like to simulate one by running my own PPPoE server (my purpose is to test the various SOHO routers on the market, particularly the Linksys and the Cisco).

If anyone has any information about doing this, such as pointers to PPPoE server software (I'd prefer to do it with linux or BSD), I would appreciate the info.

Thanks,

Matt
