A few days ago, at http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Linux/maillists/03/09/msg00600.html, I wondered whether the pppoe connection to ActCom might not be RFC compliant. Since then, using the response I got here, I have commented out the asyncmap 0 and commented in the default-asyncmap So far it is working. Therefore, I now don't see any problem with the pppoe connection to ActCom and RFC compliance.
