Hello Ray , thanks for your reaction your answer apply for the rp-pppoe package, here a pppoe application is sending its output to a pseudoterminal and then leading this over the ppp connection.
With kernel mode as I understand it, it is different. a pppd connection is translated by the pppoe plugin to a kernel-pppoe connection. The connection on pppoe level is done by the pppoe plugin. So the option -S and -A are not possible. It might be possible to use the name of the access-concentrator in the pap-secrets as server name., I cannot test this yet.
