Doug White's got a working implementation.
User-ppp needs to be a bit smarter in the datalink DIAL state by
abstracting the expect-send bit into a device-specific chat
implementation. Once this is done, the PPPoE discovery bit should be
a fairly trivial exercise by opening /dev/bpfX (I think).
I've got a *lot* of stuff on my todo list at the moment though :-(
