Well I am looking for PPPoA explicitly, which basically uses pppoatm.ko-driver module and pppoatm.so-lib along with pppd-deamon. As explained above is being my client setup which I execute on, Now my trouble/doubts is How/where to run PPPoA-server and on what device, Is there a standard device/software available (Such as DSLAM, ISAM..etc). Which can respond to the PPPoA-client (linux-box) packet and establish the ppp-interface. Pls do let me know any possible info related to this. Secondly also any means of server configuration details. Well I coated this (PADI, PADO,...) because, wanted to know does PPPoA also follows these message sequence or it has new set of sequence ?
