-.TH ADSL-CONNECT 8 "21 February 2000"
-.UC 4
-.SH NAME
-adsl-connect \- Shell script to manage a PPPoE link
-
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B adsl-connect \fR[\fIconfig_file\fR]
-.P
-.B adsl-connect \fR\fIinterface user\fR [\fIconfig_file\fR]
-
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBadsl-connect\fR is a shell script which manages an ADSL connection
-using the Roaring Penguin user-space PPPoE client. If you omit
-\fIconfig_file\fR, the default file \fB/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf\fR is used.
-If you supply \fIinterface\fR and \fIuser\fR, then they override the
-Ethernet interface and user-name settings in the configuration file.
-.P
-Note that normally, you should \fInot\fR invoke \fBadsl-connect\fR
-directly. Instead, use \fBadsl-start\fR to bring up the ADSL connection.
-.P
-\fBadsl-connect\fR first reads a configuration file. It then brings
-up a PPPoE connection. If the connection ever drops, a message is logged
-to syslog, and \fBadsl-connect\fR re-establishes the connection. In addition,
-each time the connection is dropped or cannot be established,
-\fBadsl-connect\fR executes the script \fB/etc/ppp/adsl-lost\fR if it
-exists and is executable.
-
-.P
-The shell script \fBadsl-stop\fR causes \fBadsl-connect\fR to break out
-of its loop, bring the connection down, and exit.
-
-.SH TECHNICAL DETAILS
-\fBadsl-connect\fR uses the following shell variables from the
-configuration file:
-
-.TP
-.B ETH
-The Ethernet interface connected to the ADSL modem (for example, eth0).
-
-.TP
-.B USER
-The ADSL user-id (for example, b1xxnxnx@sympatico.ca).
-
-.TP
-.B PIDFILE
-A file in which to write the process-ID of the adsl-connect process
-(for example, \fB/var/run/pppoe.pid\fR). Two additional files
-($PIDFILE.pppd and $PIDFILE.pppoe) hold the process-ID's of the
-\fBpppd\fR and \fBpppoe\fR processes, respectively.
-
-.P
-By using different configuration files with different PIDFILE
-settings, you can manage multiple PPPoE connections. Just specify the
-configuration file as an argument to \fBadsl-start\fR and
-\fBadsl-stop\fR.
