PPPoE for RH 7.3

[Burke, Thomas G.]

I've been up & running nearly non-stop since 1997 with this particular
box.  When it dies, I suppose I'll do an upgrade.

I can understand that.  Thank god for the fedora legacy project or I'd
have to upgrade my router box at home.  Something I've been putting off
for a good year now.

Next OS this thing gets is going to be CentOS so I don't have to worry
about security patches. . .
