Hi
Shefali I use SBC/Yahoo with the SpeedStream 5100 modem just the modem
and not a router. SBC is using PPPoE and to setup that username and
password just run /sbin/adsl-setup then it will configure your ppp1
device. It will ask you the username and pw plus a few other things.
Please note that when it reaches the DNS section make sure to type
server and defualt settings for the rest are fine.
After thats complete /sbin/adsl-start will start ppp0 and
/sbin/adsl-status will show you your ppp0 is up and running or down.
