Configuring a 2611XM with an ADSL WIC

[Jason]

I have just ordered an ADSL WIC for my Cisco 2611XM router. I am looking
for instructions on how to configure it & also how to set it up to connect
to my ISP, which is BT in the UK (PPoE I think?). Can anyone point me to
any guides?

TIA, Jase

BT do both PPPOA & PPPOE, but folks tend to use PPPOA due to possible
mtu issues.

The following should help.

interface ATM0
no ip address
dsl operating-mode auto

interface ATM0.1 point-to-point
pvc 0/38
encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
dialer pool-member 1

interface Dialer0
ip address negotiated
encapsulation ppp
dialer pool 1
ppp authentication chap callin
ppp chap hostname XXXXX
ppp chap password 7 XXXXX

dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit

Is there an advantage to using this ATM0.1 subinterface?

When I configure a cisco for PPPoA, I have always put the commands
you have put under ATM0.1 directly under ATM0 and it seems to work.
Or is that wrong?

Well, one advantage is that you can configure up different providers and
have somewhat seemless handover. BE require a different config and IIRC,
it's the way the gui tools do it. If it works, it works!
