RASPPPOE in my Win98SE have such option enabled by default. It's described
there to solve problem with ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). I don't see
any difference when it is disabled or enabled. RASPPPOE works just good
with MTU == 1492 in my Win98SE. However my FreeBSD in the same box have
troubles with TCP when I use PPPoE with MTU == 1492.
The configuration of TCP MSS in my FreeBSD is default, I didn't change it.

Yes, all types of compression and encryption are disabled, see my previous
post with /etc/ppp/ppp.conf there.

P.S. PPPoE use 8 bytes in each ethernet packet this is the reason why 1492
is the maximum MTU with PPPoE. I found that MTU == 1484 solve my problem,
read my previous posts. But, 1484 = 1492 - 8 ! It looks like double PPPoE
usage or lack of correspondence to the standard of PPPoE protocol
described in RFC 2516.
Maybe PPPoE implementation in FreeBSD have a bug?
