Use -ddial instead if you want a 24/7 connection. -dedicated is intended for things like dedicated serial links or (soon thanks to hm) dedicated isdn on-demand links. > /var/log/messages: > Jan 12 16:48:19 freebsd ppp[265]: tun0: Warning: deflink: Oops: Got 8 > bytes but 4 byte payload > Jan 12 16:48:20 freebsd ppp[265]: tun0: Warning: deflink: Oops: Got 8 > bytes but 4 byte payload You can probably ignore these, but they indicate that there may be a problem with the way the PPPoE module is trimming the packets - looks like it might be chopping a bit too much off the end. If you enable physical logging, it may be apparent whether the packet is truncated or is meant to be 4 bytes.
