I have done this, and will email the file to your freebsd.org address.

The ppp.log seems normal, no idication of any disconnections or
anything. If you want me to try with specific log options set, i can
do that.

I am using ppp(8), I once tried mpd but could net get a working
config, I will try again, but if anyone has a working config for mpd
using pppoe for ADSL, i would appreciate it :)

Here is the ppp.conf I am using for ppp(8) by the way:

default:

adsl:
  set device PPPoE:fxp0
  set mode ddial
  set authname username at provider.net.au
  set authkey password
  set speed sync
  set mru 1492
  set mtu 1492
  set ifaddr 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
  add default HISADDR
  enable dns
  nat enable yes

Glenn.
