This is a virtual adapter. There is one built into Windows XP. The Network Telsystems is the common one for Earthlink. You can also use WinPOET. The one thing you DON'T have to install is all the Earthlink software. Just installing the PPPoE client will be enough to get connected and will put less load on your system, especially if you're running an older system with Win98. I just popped in the latest Earthlink CD I can find on my desk and there is a %cd drive%\Windows\WinPOET folder. Just double click the setup.exe file in that folder. If you reinstall the Earthlink program, it will reinstall the PPPoE adapter, whichever one is on the CD.
