General
* [TelecomNZ] uses a value of 0 for [VPI] and 100 for [VCI]. If your modem isn't configured for this, then it won't work yet, but bitstream access may change this. I think most sold in NZ now have this correctly set...
-* Most connections between an ADSL router and the network, use [PPPoA] (which is also known as RFC 2364, and stands for PPP over [ATM]). Only newer TelstraClear connections are known to use PPPoE. ''Note: This refers to the protocol that operates from your modem to the ISP.
If you have an external modem,
