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 interface name iface to force pppoeconf to use it. Then it
       will get some login info and do some minor modifications to make  working  settings.  Note
       that you can use ESC key to exit program when you want.

OPTIONS

       -nox      Force ncurses use.
