You would normally also need to authenticate onto your ISP's network, a |

function previously performed by the modem. Unless you connect a router |

behind the modem to do the PPPoE authentication you will need to do this at |
| 11 |
the PC. |

There is a possibility that you will pick up a new IP address if your |

connection resync's. |

I will be *really* surprised if you see a difference in speed in any way |
