With the upcoming 3.7 release, I took a look at the -current manpage for pppoe(4). It looks straight-forward enough once you have things set up, but I didn't see answers to two things on my mind...
1. Will users be able to use it during floppy installs, or will an intermediate device (cdrom, nfs, or the modem/router boxes many american telcos are selling to new subscribers) still be required?
2. Will hostname.pppoe be able to handle special cases like Jens' # character in the username without any special devices, will quotes (single, double, or otherwise) handle it, or will those people need to rely on the userland driver for the moment?
