Under African Skies!

This is just for reference as per usual. I got my hands on a Netgear ADSL router DG834 that was configured for SA. I tried it here with normal settings PPP over ethernet.
But it just did not want to work. When I had a look in the router status, it was connected but no data was transfered, or atleast non that I could use

After a phone call to SA, I was informed that I must check the VPI, VCI setting and the Multiplexing method. Now the VPI was set to 8 and the VCI 35. I changd the VPI to 0 and left hte VCI at 35. The multiplexing remained LLC-Based. Settings gotten from another Huawei router.

That enabled me to get to use the ADSL router on our lines.
