[Firehol-support] Problem setting up FireQOS on A-DSL with PPPoE

[Florian Schröck]

Hi Costa,
thanks for the second mail, I will try that.
It's great to see there is such good and fast support for FireQOS/Firehol
:) We use firehol on about 10 servers at my company, it's the easiest Linux
firewall ever! :)
