CA-CONNECT Version 1.5c now supports XP. The choice is yours, install CA-CONNECT or use the Microsoft client (install steps shown below). CA-CONNECT is a PPPoE Client that we provide to our DSL customers to get them connected to our DSL. Windows XP supports PPPoE nativly, meaning it is built into windows.

 

If you need CA-CONNECT version 1.5c please contact CascadeAccess.
