6.4.2  PPPoE Encapsulation
The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft 
standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband 
modem (DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Ethernet option is for a dial-
up connection using PPPoE.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with 
existing access control systems (for example Radius). PPPoE provides a login and 
authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, 
and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, 
a function known as...

6.4.3  PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of 
data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using 
TCP/IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public 
networks, such as the Internet.
The screen shown next is for PPTP encapsulation.
