In 5 years on this list I have not seen pppoed ever mentioned and was even unaware of it's existents. I all ready did my homework reading the man pppoed and googleing. The 'man pppoed' documentation is very cryptic and gives absolutely no insight as to the conditions under which a person would need to use it, as well as no instructions on how to enable it. Not until I read Bikrant's post containing his rc.conf statements did I realize that pppoed was something different that 'user pppoe'. From my search for documentation I am surprised at the fact that Bikrant even found out about the rc.conf statement needed it enable it. I already know that pppoed is different than 'user pppoe'. I know under what conditions someone would use 'user pppoe'. Would you or Bikrant please post any reference web sites or links to documentation on pppoed that you have used to learn about using and configuring pppoed as I would like to learn more about this pppoed function? Could you or Bikrant please explain what need or purpose pppoed is being used to satisfy? Thanks Joe
