dlewis23 Posted June 16, 2006 CID Share Posted June 16, 2006 here is what you want to know http://www.dslreports.com/information/kb/PPPoA there is really no difference becuase they both work in basically the same way. Your modem may be able to do both but your ISP is only going to be able to do 1 and thats PPPoE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
