Well.... to get back to what people are using in modern times.

pppoe(8) is the older version (as far as config goes that I found). I do believe that this is the 'userland' process.

I have now switched over to pppoe(4) which I think is the kernel based service which people are claiming is a lot faster.

Unfortunately my speeds are still the same, and I'm not sure if low horsepower due to my CPU clock being at 400MHz however I do hope this helps someone if they need answers like me!

Config is fairly simple:

Code:
inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 NONE mtu 1492 \
        pppoedev hme0 authproto chap \
        authname <authname> authkey <authkey> \
        up
dest 0.0.0.1
!/sbin/route add default -ifp pppoe0 0.0.0.1
hostname.hme0

Code:
up mtu 1500
and that's it!

Hope this helps someone

....now to work out the speed issue
