<p>PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a protocol used by many ADSL Internet Service Providers. Roaring Penguin has a free PPPoE client for Linux and Solaris systems to connect to PPPoE service providers.</p>
<p>Dubbed RP-PPPoE, this open-source product is ideal for Linux users with a DSL "modem" whose Internet service provider uses PPPoE. Before you download this software, check whether or not you really need it. If your ISP uses PPPoE, but has given you a router, you may not need a PPPoE client on your Linux box. DHCP may work fine.</p>
<h4>Commercial PPPoE Server</h4>
<p><a href="http://www.finepointnetworks.com/" target="_blank">Fine Point Networks</a> sells a commercial PPPoE server based on rp-pppoe; their product is called <a target="_blank" href="http://www.finepointnetworks.com/products/servpoet/index.html">ServPoET BMS</a>.</p>
<h4>Download RP-PPPoE</h4>
<p>You can download RP-PPPoE here:</p>

<h4>Support</h4>
<p>rp-pppoe is free software; it comes without warranty or support. We regret that we <em>cannot</em> offer e-mail or telephone support for rp-pppoe. If you received rp-pppoe as part of a Linux distribution you paid for, you may have the right to support from the distribution vendor. Try your vendor first.</p>
<h4>User Forum</h4>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.voy.com" target="_blank">VoyForums</a>, there is a <a href="http://www.voy.com/41165/" target="_blank">forum</a> for rp-pppoe. Post your questions there; with luck, answers will accumulate.</p>
