Ok, cool. I see you have quotes there also, I haven't tried that.

Dachstein has PPPoE??  Where did I miss that?  I may back-up and
re-group.  Does Dachstein utilize Shorwall?  What does Dachstein use for
firewalling?

P.S.  If Dachstein supports PPPoE and firewalling, if you have the time,
and I can't make Dachstein work either, would you be interested in a
