Kinds of ADSL connections?

Patrick_Sandberg
Apparently there are some variants o (A)DSL services judging by the posts I've read here. And see I thought you just connected your PC to your ADSL modem, set the IP stuff to DHCP and logged on using a webpage/some utility and thats that. Firewall optional. Happy Internet surfing.

Seems that some are using a "kludge" of running PPTP over their Ethernet card, what is that and are there many other "weird" ways of using ADSL?

Anyone care to elaborate on this matter?

Cheers,
Patrick
