I think the best way to implement this is some sort of config message
to the pppoe node (before the connect/listen). The NETGRAPH version
of ppp(8) is capable of doing ``chat scripts'' with netgraph nodes,
so it's fairly easy to configure the node configuration conversation...
Hopefully now that Christmas is over I'll be able to get back to
netgraph'ifying ppp :-)
