 I have to apologize; work has kept me too busy to risk shutting down
 my firewall/nat router, so I was never able to try adjusting the ifconfig
 line to see exactly what was needed.  (Prefixing "! /sbin/ifconfig pppoe0
 inet" to the "0.0.0.0 0.0.0.1 up" in the instructions solved the no
 connection problem for me, but I don't know if all of it is necessary,
 e.g., the "! /sbin" part, or just "inet".)
 
 
 I think we should close this PR, because no one else has ever had
 problems, and I will not be able to get back to it until March 2007
 at the earliest.
 
 Sorry to have been so sloppy on this PR.
