Very. I am an admin at an ISP, and betweem the various PPPoE
implementations on win32 (Enternet, RasPPPoE), standalone routers =
(LinkSys,
NexLan, D-Link, Netgear, Cisco, Netopia) and LINUX (RP), FreeBSD and then
LINUX are the two most stable implementations.  They are the only two I
have seen that can reliably stay connected and reconnect no matter what =
the
termination reason.  Generally, my box stays connected unless there is =
some
sort of layer one interruption, or the DSLAM reboots and I have have to
re-synch.  But it always comes back after that, right away on its own =
which
is more than I can say for the other implementations.
