I thought the connection was pppoe (based on discussions here), so I did what I had read in the Gentoo Handbook (this is a Gentoo distro). I run the scripts adsl-setup and adsl-start. But it times out.

How are you connection to Verizon?  Do you have a router? Are you
going directly to the modem? Is the modem connected to a switch/hub?

The last time that I used verizon about 6 months ago it was PPPoE.  I
don't think that they have changed anything since then.
