Hmm, you didn't update tcpdump ? It'd be nice to see the PPPoE
packets interpreted (which the -current tcpdump now does).

Maybe not without a log file. I *suspect* you need to ``set cd 3''
(or maybe higher). Currently, ppp polls the netgraph node every second
to see if it's received a SUCCESS message. It does this only for the
carrier detect timeout, which is 1 second by default. ``set cd''
changes this.
This is a limitation we're stuck with 'till I abstract the ``set
dial'' and ``set hangup'' commands so that they're device specific -
on my todo list. For the time being, ppp can't select() on the
descriptor during negotiation.
