no answers for you, but here are some stuff i would mess with:
- kernel pppoe(4) (much nicer ;)
seconded, it works nicely on BT-based lines in .uk for me
(some of the LLU providers only do PPPoA though).
I found it a lot easier to get working than using ppp(8), and
I'm not exactly new to ppp(8)...
I actually started with kernel pppoe and it worked great for two
hours and then died inexplicably. The connection then refused to come
up after repeated reboots which I found very strange. I went back to
my Netgear for a few days and then tried OBSD again. This time the
connection held for 5 days and died. Again repeated reboots wouldn't
coax the connection back to life but my Netgear router worked fine. I
thought I'd try userland ppp because my intuition leads me to believe
it may be able to handle odd connection drops etc more robustly. Also
I can't work out how to get any kind of logs from kernel pppoe.
