Check out Network TeleSystems at:
http://www.nts.com

they make the PPPoE client for Earthlink/MindSpring Mac clients.

Their PPPoE software that is listed as compatible with OS X is available at:
http://www.nts.com/commerce/ntsorder.html

or available as a free evaluation version at:
http://www.nts.com/products/downloadeval.html

Since Earthlink's DSL implementation is via PPPoE, you can expect they'll support OS X pb very shortly.

Thanks alot schwei. I appreciate it. I use EnterNet 100. I suppose it doesn't have support for OS X.

I don't see any mention of support for X. And I don't see how it could, considering it relies on extentions, which don't exist in X.

I think it's pretty important to get this working, since it is holding a lot of us from using X due to a lack of net connection. We should all try to battle this problem, and maybe someone could try coding a simple client?
