I still havent got it resolved, the ISP people are going to check it
out when they have time.

I recently tried OpenBSD becouse i noted that it uses pppoe(8) instead
of netgraph(4), but it had the exact same issues.

Maybe i can get the ISP guy to reply with what equipment they are
using, and you can see if it is the same as you.

Regards.
