I think you missed part of what I said.  BellSouth uses both.  The
grandfathered resold lines IgLou has here are bridged PPoA.  The newer ones
are mandatorily PPoE for residential for all 3mbit, and for residential
1.5mbit and lower.  Businesses can still get bridged PPoA for 1.5mbit.
But BellSouth lines -can- do PPoA...they just hate doing it.
