	I made sure the interface was up.  I thought the rp-pppoe script 
might call ifconfig with my specified interface as a command line 
option.  I have gotten the script to bring up the DSL.
	There is, however, one problem that I haven't found a solution for 
yet.  I have the option USEPEERDNS set, but /etc/resolv.conf is not 
being filled in with Verizon's DNS server IP's.  I can leave my 
college's DNS severs in it, but I'd like to use Verizon's.  OS X has no 
trouble filling in the values, so I think I may have missed something in 
the pppoe.config, or possibly I need to add an option into 
/etc/ppp/options.
	Thanks for all the help from those who did.  Verizon DSL works with 
NetBSD and my service is has always been fast, so if someone is looking 
for DSL on NetBSD, this one works.
