It's lousy closed source software, which I was never able to make it work.  I'm
told it is a resource hog and will eat up 20% cpu time on 200MHZ Pentium. I'm
running the Roaring Penguin software. It uses less than 2% cpu time on a 200MHZ
Pentium.  You can find the software at www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe.html

Also check the comp.dcom.xdsl newsgroup. There's lots of pointers.  One place to
visit is www.carricksolutions.com/linuxpppoe.htm

I may be able to offer additonal assistance once I get my own network up and
running.  We're trying to route a subnet over PPPoE. In theory this should work,
but time will tell if it really does.
