In RedHat 7.2, the program "adsl-setup" is not include in the standard installation. Then I would like to know, how to setup pppoe connection without using "adsl-setup"?

ADSL should work with no problems. Just select DHCP, or enter the static IP information during the installation.
If you're having problems, the best client to use is rp-pppoe. Actually, this is the ADSL client packaged with RedHat. The latest version is always available from

RH 7.2 has its own rpm version of rp-pppoe but the "adsl-setup" is taken out. So I just want to know what utility or package is going to replace the "adsl-setup"? or how to setup adsl adapter without using "adsl-setup"?

Don't use DHCP on ADSL; won't work.

As of version 7.2, RedHat tried to transfer the configuration function of ADSL to its own configuration program. Obviouslly, it did not work - so adsl-setup is back in RedHat 7.3.

Solution: get rp-pppoe-3.3-7 from RedHat 7.3; it should work without problems inRedHat 7.2.
