The most important information to enter to get a
DSL modem working is the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual
Circuit Identifier (VCI) . These two numbers simply tell the
DSL equipment on both ends that they should talk to each other, almost the same as replacing a dialed number. Each
DSL provider uses a set of these two numbers.
For a list of known VCI/VPI values, please see
this article.
Please note that some
ISP's (Earthlink, Mindspring, Speakeasy, etc.) may use your local
telco for the network services. In such cases, just use the VPI/VCI values for your
telco/CLEC.
