Will a Cisco 678 work with Earthlink?

[gadford]

I recently switched DSL carriers from a local carrier to Earthlink. I was using a Cisco 678 with the old carrier (Aros.net) but haven't been able to get it to work with Earthlink. Earthlink sent out their own modem which works fine, but I can't share a connection with the earthlink modem...hence the reason why I would like to set up the Cisco if possible. I was told by Earthlink that the Cisco 678 WILL work with their service, but they don't support it. I went into the cbos and changed the username and password info, but didn't change any other settings. Anyone know how to configure a Cisco 67x for Earthlink!?? Any help is appreciated.

After a lot of trial and error, I figured out the necessary cbos commands to configure a 678 cisco for Earthlink DSL. Turns out the vpi is 0, but the vci needs to be set to 35 (qwest is 32) Below are the commands that worked:

set ppp wan0-0 ipcp 0.0.0.0
set ppp wan0-0 dns 0.0.0.0
set dhcp enable
set nat enable
set ppp wan0-0 login username@earthlink.net
set ppp wan0-0 password ********
set ppp wan0-0 disable
write

set int wan0-0 vpi 0
set int wan0-0 vci 35
set int wan0-0 open (or try enable, then open)
write

Works Great!
