The ncurses utility PPPoE/ADSL - PPP over ethernet driver. pppoeconf Configures PPP/ADSL connections.


pppoe clamp MSS at 1452 bytes  (If you still get problems described above try setting to 1412 in the dsl-provider file.)
Now, you can make a DSL connection with "pon dsl-provider" and terminate it with "poff".  
You can use the "plog" command to see the status or "ip addr show ppp0" for general interface info.


Undo and Reverse Changes to your Linux Mint system after using pppoeconf

The pppoeconf utility was tested and used successfully on a Linux Mint 19.2 installation with a PC that had a wired Ethernet controller and a Wireless controller also. The wireless controller is not relevant to this example.

The owner of the system no longer needed to use pppoeconf on the system after purchasing a router/firewall appliance. However, it was no longer possible to configure the network settings from the Mint applet.
