Sean McBride sent a troubleshooting tip about the recently released Open Transport 2.7.6:
After installing it, my internet connection no longer worked. I am using Sympatico (Canada's largest ISP) and their Access Manager 1.1.1 software. Putting OT 2.7.4 back did not help. I had to reinstall the Access Manager software. I don't know why it was necessary, but it fixed it. Note that when you reinstall, you will need to reenter your username and password. Friends have also had this problem with past OT updates. It must be something wrong with Access Manager.
Eric Chamberland notes that the Access Manager Installer patches Open Transport in order to provide PPPoE functionality for its high speed DSL service. When a new version of Open Transport is installed, Access Manager, or your ISP's preferred PPPoE software, must be re-installed in order to patch the new copy of Open Transport.

yeah, and...
this, from macsonly.com, today:
"Open Transport 2.7.6 Installer and DSL Software Glitch: Dale Mericle had a problem installing the new version OT 2.7.6. To use DSL his DSL/ISP, Nevada Bell Internet Services, had sent him Mac software called NTS EnterNet that placed 3 extensions in the system folder: EnterNet, EnterNet Extension, and EnterNet 300. After using the OT 2.7.6 installer the extension EnterNet 300 was suddenly no longer there and he could not make a connection. However, uninstalling the DSL software and reinstalling it fixed the problem."
yet another reason to get a router and dump stupid PPPoE connection softwares like MacPoet and EnterNet, they suck, get a router and use it to connect to your DSL service... and don't whine about routers being too expensive, they are worth every penny.
