PPPoA (PPP over ATM) and PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) define how data is encapsulated over different types of network. At present (Summer 2003), all BTwholesale provided DSL lines use PPPoA. For a modem to work in the UK it must be G.DMT and PPPoA compliant. Visit our ADSL Hardware for a list of routers and modems, and where to buy them. PPPoA refers to how data is transfered across BT’s network. For more information see How ADSL Works.
