The Connection Name field determines what name will be used to refer to this connection when choosing which connection to dial automatically at boot, or which connection to use as a backup for another link.

The PPP Username field determines the user name to use when connecting to the PPP server as specified by your provider.

The Password field determines the password to use when connecting to the PPP server.

The Dial type field determines the type of dialing system to use on the phone line. Either DTMP (Tone dialing) or Pulse. Almost all phone systems support DTMF, and DTMF is much faster at dialing. DTMF is recommended whenever possible.

The Phonenumber field specifies the number to dial to connect to the PPP server.

The Default Route checkbox enables automatically setting a default route using this interface whenever it connects. If this is your primary connection you probably want this option enabled.

The Use peer DNS checkbox enables automatically setting the DNS server entries that the PPPoE server recommends. Enable this option unless you provide your own name servers.
