Hey dudes, sorry but my DSL connection is a PPPoA connection according to Bellsouth's technical help desk. I'm using a speed touch USB modem and you have to go through the log on screen first before you actually get on the internet. :rolleyes:

Are you sure? Does that modem even support ATM? What brand/model is it?

It's a Alcatel Speed touch USB modem. Looks like a green sting ray. And what is ATM?

The 'A' in 'PPPoA' = ATM. You're definitely using ATM. See here for more info.
