Or one can use Roaring Penguin PPPoE Client which was originally for Linux but works under NetBSD/OpenBSD/FreeBSD as well... This will replace using the PPPoE built into FreeBSD and can be found here: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe The latest version of the PPPoE client is 2.3. It includes nice shell scripts for managing the connection as well as more manual pages. It also includes the "MSS Clamp" feature which eliminates the need to adjust MTU settings on LAN hosts.
