<para>The Roaring Penguin PPPoE package contains both a client and a
|
2003-09-03 09:17:42 +08:00
|
|
|
server component that works with the client. The client allows you
|
2003-09-02 10:24:32 +08:00
|
|
|
to connect to large networks that use the PPPoE protocol, common among
|
2003-09-03 09:17:42 +08:00
|
|
|
ADSL providers. The server component runs alongside the client,

allowing you to configure other clients that send out a configuration
