Harry,

Your said:

"If you select PPPoE or PPPoA, normally used for DSL, there will be a place to provide the username and password."
In this instance you are correct up to a point about the ID and password, BUT.... the tool also insists on a phone number to make a connection. No phone number, no connection. I know, I tried it.

There is another tool using a card configuration, and that doesn't work for me either, as ISP addresses are required and they are not provided by my IP, being automatically obtained.

I think this type of provider is called an IPTV high speed broadband connection.

I am subject to correction on this as I don't fully understand how to use the correct terminology, and have gleaned this knowledge from a number of sources. This type of ISP seems to have been around since 2000 at least, so it is not that "new" it now being 2006.
