-.SH NAME
-pppoe-sniff \- examine network for non-standard PPPoE frames
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B pppoe-sniff \fR[\fIoptions\fR]
-
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBpppoe-sniff\fR listens for likely-looking PPPoE PADR and session frames
-and deduces extra options required for \fBpppoe(8)\fR to work.
-
-Some DSL providers seem to use non-standard frame types for PPPoE frames,
-and/or require a certain value in the Service-Name field. It is often
-easier to sniff those values from a machine which can successfully connect
-rather than try to pry them out of the DSL provider.
-
-To use \fBpppoe-sniff\fR, you need two computers, a DSL modem and
-an Ethernet hub (\fInot\fR an Ethernet switch.)
-
-If the DSL modem normally connects directly to your computer's
-Ethernet card, connect it to the "uplink" port on the Ethernet hub.
-Plug two computers into normal ports on the hub. On one computer, run
-whatever software the DSL provider gave you on whatever operating
-system the DSL provider supports. On the other computer, run Linux and
-log in as root.
-
-On the Linux machine, put the Ethernet interface into promiscuous mode
-and start \fBpppoe-sniff\fR. If the ethernet interface is \fIeth0\fR,
-for example, type these commands:
-
-.nf
- ifconfig eth0 promisc
- pppoe-sniff -I eth0
-.fi
-
-On the other machine, start your DSL connection as usual. After a short
-time, \fBpppoe-sniff\fR should print recommendations for the value
-of \fBPPPOE_EXTRA\fR. Set this value in \fB/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf\fR.
-If \fBpppoe-sniff\fR indicates that something special is required in
-\fBPPPOE_EXTRA\fR, please e-mail this to \fBpppoe@roaringpenguin.com\fR
-along with the name of your ISP and the manufacturer and model number of
-your DSL modem. This information will be collated and provided on the
-PPPoE web page for users who do not have two computers.
-
-After \fBpppoe-sniff\fR finishes (or you stop it if it seems hung),
-remember to turn off promiscuous mode:
-
-.nf
- ifconfig eth0 -promisc
-.fi
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-I \fIinterface\fR
-The \fB\-I\fR option specifies the Ethernet interface to use. Under Linux,
-it is typically \fIeth0\fR or \fIeth1\fR. The interface should be "up"
-and in promiscuous mode before you start \fBpppoe-sniff\fR.
-
-.TP
-.B \-V
-The \fB\-V\fR option causes \fBpppoe-sniff\fR to print its version number and
-exit.
-
-.SH BUGS
-\fBpppoe-sniff\fR only works on Linux.
