If you normally have to do the Auth via a piece of Crappy software, then it makes more sense for the device to do it than you yourself. The 501 does not Curently support PPPoE last I read. You will have to go to their site to confirm.</P><P></P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 05 Feb 2002 17:18:29 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-pppoe/m-p/85909#M700622 jerry.roy 2002-02-05T17:18:29Z Re: Pix 501 PPPoE https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/pix-501-pppoe/m-p/85910#M700632 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>thanks for that reply.</P><P></P><P>I think the 501 is due for pppoe in Q1 2002.
