Very. I am an admin at an ISP, and betweem the various PPPoE
implementations on win32 (Enternet, RasPPPoE), standalone routers (LinkSys,
NexLan, D-Link, Netgear, Cisco, Netopia) and LINUX (RP), FreeBSD and then
LINUX are the two most stable implementations. They are the only two I
have seen that can reliably stay connected and reconnect no matter what the
termination reason. Generally, my box stays connected unless there is some
sort of layer one interruption, or the DSLAM reboots and I have have to
re-synch. But it always comes back after that, right away on its own which
is more than I can say for the other implementations.
