Oh, didn't realise that was for that. I assumed it was supposed to show
the result that had already caused the loop to terminate...

When run at the command line, it immediately saw the access concentrator,
but hung around for several more seconds before returning the command
prompt.

Most of the time when I ran it and watched, it seemed to keep reporting
Timout (sic) even on the correct interface. When I wasn't watching, I
didn't notice it being slow...

This is consistent with my memory of how pppoe -A operates too.

Ah yes, I see #385150... I was looking at the ppp bugs, not the ppp-udeb bugs,
silly me.

Glad to be able to help. ^_^
