Sarge, I should be ok as I do have a line direct to my pc from the demarc. All that should be done is put the filter at the demarc and connect the pc line to it.
Might be a good idea to fly out here anyway; the fishing is great this time of year.
Xayd, thanks for the link. I'll see how they do with the hookup and how good PPPoE is and take it from there. I d/l'd RasPPPoE and unzipped it but not installed yet. I'll see what the tech says about using it instead.
Everything seems to be falling into place and PacBell has come through when they said they would.
Thanks again fellas. I appreciate your time and help.
Carl
