My ISP send me an Alcatel Speed Touch USB modem ... they use a PPPoE protocol and don't have support for Macintosh.
I have an iMac and found a driver for MacOS but this driver is for a PPPoA protocol ....
Can I use PPPoE protocol with Alcatel Speed Touch USB modem on Macintosh (MacOS 9 or X)?

Shake your (really?) ISP and make him awake! Or switch to earthlink DSL. On the Apple Homepage you find much more information for this Mac supporting ISP! cu imac_andre
