Setup the Prestige for PPPoE Connections

- Introduction

PPP over Ethernet is an IETF draft standard specifying how a host personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to the high-speed data networks via a familiar PPP dialer such as 'Dial-Up Networking' user interface. PPPoE supports a broad range of existing applications and service including authentication, accounting, secure access and configuration management. There are several major service providers running evaluations of PPPoE today. When the Prestige is deployed in such a setup, it must appear as a single host to the access concentrator. Before using PPPoE feature of the Prestige, please make sure your ISP supports PPPoE.
