Allegedly, on or about 26 May 2018, Gary Hodder sent:
currently I am using a rp-pppoe with a router/modem in bridge mode
on
adsl and all is working fine.
We are being forced to move to nbn, in our case fibre to the node.
The provider I am looking at uses vdsl, Protocol: IPoE (DHCP /
Automatic IP) VLAN: None/blank.
Will this work with rp-pppoe? If not is there a similar connection
software that will?
My experience with setting up connections for a couple of NBN services
is that there is no authentication done by the user (they authorise
*their* interface equipment), you just plug your network into their
device, like you're connecting to the output of a router. In some
cases, that's exactly what you're doing. But it's also possible to
plug directly into the fibre/ethernet interface, if you only have one
device to connect.
This included with a service provider that had instructions for setting
up your logon, with you having to authenticate. Their instructions
didn't work, but just connecting in, and doing nothing else, did.

Hooray! I finally finished typing this email.
