I have a client running PPPoE to their ISP since 4.2-R with no problems
(except for an idiot in their office who reboots everything he can lay
his hands on if one of his windows apps acts up :-( ) Unfortunately the
mean time between idiots is < 30 days, so I can't say that it is stable
over long periods.
The one thing I did have to add to the ppp.conf was
enable lqr
without it, the client end would not notice if the ISP silently
disappeared.
