PPPoE

[Surya Prasant Rao <SuryaP@netbrahma.com>]

I couldnt find a HOW-TO on PPPoE which is going to 
be a must for xDSL access .  Is there any documentation
about how PPP interacts with the NIC driver?
 About algorithms i felt that the book called data structures 
in  c and c++ by langsam & ... was real good (This is not a 
promotion this is a personal view :) )
