Errr. Right now, nothing. :) I saw these values as I was attempting to teach ppp(8) to speak pppoe. I pretty much followed the RFC in sending the PADI - I'd fire off a packet with a zero-length Service-Name tag, and in the PADO, I'd see a zero length Service-Name tag in the reply (2 actually, IIRC), and the aforementioned AC-Name tag. My ISP also distributed some source code for Linux users to use. Other than it being rather ugly and inefficient, it did the same thing - sending a PADI with a zero-length Service-Name tag. If you'd like, when I get home, I'll try to set things up to sniff the connection while running the windows software provided, and see if I can find out anything more. josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
