This section explains how you can connect to the Internet using a Broadband PPPoE
dial-in application. The PPP over Ethernet connection scenario provides PPP-like
dial-in behaviour over the virtual Ethernet segment.
To be able to use a broadband dial-in application on your computer for connecting
to the Internet, the SpeedTouch™ needs to be configured for Bridged Ethernet or
Routed PPPoE (with PPPoE relay) via the SpeedTouch™ Setup wizard or the
embedded Easy Setup.
To connect to the Internet you can use:
An MS Windows XP broadband dial-in client.
See "2.2.1 Using an MS Windows XP BroadBand Connection" on page 34
more information.
A Mac OS X broadband dial-in client.
See "2.2.2 Using the Mac OS X PPPoE Dial-in Client" on page 39
information.

A broadband PPPoE dial-in client provided by your Service Provider to
connect to the Internet
Upon availability of OS-specific PPPoE dial-in client applications, the
latter method is Operating System independent.
For PPPoE session connectivity from a Mac OS8.6/9.x, MS Windows
95/98(SE)/ME/2000 or a Linux system, a host PPPoE dial-in application
is mandatory.
