Following the advice of Debian's ppp maintainer, I am trying the
rp-pppoe.so pppd plugin. Up to now I used the pppoe package. Any
comments so far?
It bothers me that syslog has several warnings about
Couldn't increase MTU to 1500
Couldn't increase MRU to 1500
I have tried to set the mtu and mru directives in the configuration file
as well as ifconfig eth mtu to something, but it didn't help. Googling
shows that many people got that warnings but no definite solution. So
far I didn't encounter real problems.
As an aside, here are some quotations from the changelog.Debian.gz
file:
ppp (2.4.2+20040428-4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Updated patch pty_command_timeout, which broke the pty command.
[A reminder for people still using the pppoe package: you should
switch to the kernel driver and use the rp-pppoe.so pppd plugin.]

ppp (2.4.2+20040428-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Added to README.Debian a reminder about /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot for
the benefit of lusers who configure pppd to start two times.
(Closes: #26982)

One other note: there is also a /usr/share/doc/ppp/README.pppoe and
/usr/share/doc/ppp/README.Debian.gz also mentions the TCPMSS issue for
iptables.
