<title>Introduction to
<application><acronym>RP</acronym>-<acronym>PPPoE</acronym></application></title>
<para>The Roaring Penguin <application><acronym>PPPoE</acronym></application>
package contains both a client and a server component that works with the
client. The client allows you to connect to large networks that use the
<acronym>PPPoE</acronym> protocol, common among <acronym>ADSL</acronym>
providers. The server component runs alongside the client,
allowing you to configure other clients that send out a configuration
request.</para>

after installation, you should run the <command>adsl-setup</command>

<para>When configuring your connection, you will need to have your
<acronym>ISP</acronym>'s nameserver information available, as well as your
username and password. You will also be asked whether to configure a
dial-on-demand or a constant connection. If your service provider does not
charge by the minute, it is usually good to have a bootscript handle the
connection for you. You can, of course, choose not to install the
following script, and start your connection manually with the
<command>adsl-start</command> script.</para>
