Dear Glenn
For the moment I am back at my Arachne machine in order to try to get it 
connected with the ADSL modem/router.
I am in the process to work through all the proposals that I got from you.
With this first one I got a reaction.

In my ADSL setup page I see following result for the Arachne box although 
without the upmost line (  ). That line I got with Baslin, just to let you 
see what does not work ;(.
It stops at the line with the arrow which it repeats three times and which is 
followed by a message the it has timed out its efforts.

For completeness I have attached a snapshot of the first page of the status 
information page of the modem/ router setup.
Perhaps that give you some more ideas.

I have used all possible combinations you supplied. Also those variations 
which gave Bastiaan some hope. Used the gateway which shows on the modem 
status page, all without visible progress.
In the ppprtr.cfg I need to have dhcp as my_ip.
Otherwise there is no reaction from my router modem. With my former router/ 
modem I could easily connect with the adsl provider and from thereon no 
problems. No Java, no PPPoA or E would bother me. The only difference in the 
whole setup is another modem router. Nothing else has changed. The lightning 
did its destructive work and since then I am stuck with my new modem router.
