[PPPoA] is an Acronym for [PPP] over [ATM], a protocol which is commonly used for [ADSLModems] such as World-Net's [AccessRunner|AccessRunnerADSLModem] and D-Link AHL110.
-__PPPoA is supported out of the box on Debian Sarge (pppd 2.4.3), so this page is largely unnecessary now.__ As of 2.4.1 howver, the default PPP distribution for linux did not come with PPPoA support, and neither did the Debian package in Woody. However there are patches floating around to add this functionality. The patches provided below are originally from the current [Suse
] version of ppp which ships with PPPoA support. I have extracted these patches and verified that they work with both the standard ppp-2.4.1 distribution and the debian woody ppp-2.4.1 source package.

Before we start with all the configuration you should be aware of the fact that you need to connect your ADSL modem directly to your Linux box (eg via USB or as internal PCI card) - it is __not__ possible to have it connected via [Ethernet].
