Works great, no problems connecting via PPPoE and using the Internet. For the most part the connection is quite stable, relatively speaking (it's been connected in excess of 40 days at a time). Anyway, there are times when the PPPoE connection appears to drop, but the client isn't notified. When this happens Internet access is lost until someone manually issues a "close" command to ppp(8). I've scoured the logs and have nothing of use in troubleshooting this issue. I'm currently logging "Connect phase ipcp Command". Any assistance in troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.
