Thanks, got it.  The screens looks the same -- a little screwed up.  I
could actually get to the PPPoE screen, even with the old firmware, as it
turns out.  The trick is to change to the DHCP tab and then back to the
Setup tab.  The PPPoE screen appears in that case.  I think it may be a
bad interaction between your embedded Javascript and Netscape 4.7.  Your
technical people may want to look into it.

Thanks.
