	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:

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.
