As Luiz suggested, I've changed the config to:

enable lqr echo
set echoperiod 5

which sorts my problem out just fine.

I did look into using mpd - mainly to compare which works best for our 
situation.  However, I was having trouble making any PPPoE connections 
come up when using mpd; I suspect that this is me not fully 
understanding what I'm doing - and although I've done quite a bit of 
looking, I can't find any good example configurations for a PPPoE server 
using mpd (I'm sure they exist!).  Do you have any pointers for this?

Regards,

Paul.
