I assume that's what you meant by "RJ-11" in your previous postings. For what it's worth, RJ-11 is typically used for Ethernet, but can also be used for DS-1 and other signals. It's just an electromechanical connector, and saying you have "RJ-11" doesn't tell us much about what sort of equipment you're using.

As the other James mentioned, this really isn't the right list for that sort of question, because it's not so related to PPP, and the people you need aren't necessarily subscribed to this list. You may need to do some investigation on your own. It's unclear what hardware you need to support. You probably need to work that out. Perhaps the simplest answer (to test PPPoA and ignoring all else) would be to get two ATM NICs and connect them back-to-back; see: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/ATM-Linux-HOWTO/signaling.html#SIGNALING.RUNNING-TWO-ATM-NICS-BACK-TO-BACK Or even simpler with the ATM/TCP "test" driver. Or maybe you need to invest in some ADSL test gear or have your system evaluated by a commercial testing service. An even better answer would be to scout around for an ATM or ADSL expert to advise you. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
