DSL Problems - PPPoA Help Needed

I am trying to get a DSL connection setup using a Linksys HPN100 internal card.

The card is installed correctly, at least as far as I can tell at this point.

I was told by the DSL people that I needed a DMT card and was told by Linksys that the HP100 was a DMT card.

Then I was told by the DSL people that I needed to install a PPPoA protocol (the machine's on Win98 here). But then, I think Linksys told me that PPPoA is not supported by this card (and that only one modem, only available in the UK supports it). So first question - am I just out of luck here, or is there something I could do?

Also, the Linksys person seemed to suggest that adding a router would help, but if the modem does not support PPPoA, using the router won't help at all, right?

Thanks in advance.

as far as I know you will need some sort of pppoa software for it work. there are some routers that do support pppoa but not sure which go to www.dslreports.com check out some forums there. us/qwest is one forum that has it.
