Yes. You will need firmware 6.2.x. I posted a sample config in thread35-424292.

Thanks gbiello,

With that config how does the PIX determine the route outside? DHCP?

Also how does it do authentication? With vpdn?

vpdn group dialgroup request dialout pppoe
vpdn group dialgroup localname <username> <-your ISP Username?
vpdn group dialgroup ppp authentication pap <- what determines this protocol ?
vpdn username <username> password <password> <- ISP username and Password ?

Sorry for so many questions this is new ground for me

It gets the route when it logs on with the configured PPoE username and password, a la DHCP.
