Unfortunately, with Verizon, all of the connection information was handled by the modem/router.
I'm assuming you have a "bridged" modem, meaning there is no DHCP capability built into the modem (ie. you can't go to "http://192.168.1.1" to access a configuration GUI).
In which case, I suggest you use
rp-pppoe to manage your connection. I used to use Fedora (in the days before I got a modem/router) and
system-config-network never worked for me, either; I resorted to
rp-pppoe.
I haven't used it in years, but I believe the command to get everything configured is "
pppoe-setup".
I'm with Bell Sympatico, here in Canada, and all of the usernames are called "b1"s. My b1 (which I won't divulge for security reasons) alone, when filling in the prompts with
pppoe-setup, never worked - I had to make it look like an email address for it to work:
Code:
# pppoe-setup
Username: b1xxxxxx@sympatico.ca
Password: ................
...
...
There's only three or four prompts, and then that's it. The more "in-depth" details (like VPI/VCI) are automagically configured.
Try putting in your DSL username with "@caltel.com" on the end of it.
I hope that helps.

It's still a work in progress, but if this works, I'll add a little walkthrough.
