-[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. The default PPP distribution for linux does not come with PPPoA support and neither does the debian packages in either woody, sarge, or sid .

I have extracted these patches and verified that they work with both the standard ppp-2.4.1 distribution and the debian sarge ppp-2.4.1 source package.
