| [Southeast] pppoa settings When I had DSL a few years ago I had it setup for pppoa. I used some settings I found here but now I can't find them. I want to use pppoa for that little extra bandwith it gives from having a bit less overhead than pppoe. I know it's not much but I want all I can get lol. Anybody know what settings I should use on a netopia 3347? |

| Use your primary email username and password unless different changed after installation.
Also, is U-verse ADSL2+ or VDSL2 service available in your area?
For the same price as 6mb ATM-based DSL service you could get 12mb PTM (IPDSL) service. |
|
| No uverse here or I would definitely have it. I know I have to use the same login but as far as VCI/Vpi, mtu, and any other settings specific to the netoipa 3347 |

I've never used PPPoA, so I don't know if it has the same packet fragmentation as PPPoE, which requires MTU=1492.

You can't just decide to use PPPoA vs PPPoE. Your ATM PVC must be configured to use one or the other. |

| You can use either with AT&T in the SE. Done did it before. I'm pretty sure the mtu should be 1500 with PPPoa but not sure about authentication type and any other settings that need to be tweaked. |

Actually, even in the legacy BellSouth area, not all locations allow PPPoA anymore; so even if you could use PPPoA in the past, that may no longer be true today.
You are correct about the 1500 MTU, and the PPP authentication is the same as with PPPoE.
I no longer have a 3347 at my disposal to check, but I think the only difference in setup (from the telnet CLI...I am not sure about how to setup PPPoA from the http menu) is to change:
set atm vcc 1 encap pppoe-llc
set atm vcc 1 pppoe-sessions 1
to:
set atm vcc 1 encap ppp-vcmux

| Thanks, I'll give it a shot later today and see what happens. The small city I live in doesn't exactly stay up to date so I'd be willing to bet it'll still work. |

I just took a look and you might be right for the most part...the default connect method is actually vcmux. I must have been thinking about the old SBC regions.
