technology in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). The IPSec Plugin is
released as part of the InJoy Dialer (dial-out), InJoy Connect"
(dial-in) and the InJoy Firewall. The Plugin enables these products

PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) specifies how a host PC
interacts with a broadband ISP (via xDSL or Cable) in order to
achieve Internet access. It relies on two widely accepted standards,
namely Ethernet and the point-to-point protocol (PPP). Service
providers are implementing PPPoE to replace the static IP addressing
or DHCP systems that do not offer authentication, billing, or 
service differentiation.
