The connection then refused to come up after repeated reboots which I found very strange. I went back to my Netgear for a few days and then tried OBSD again. This time the connection held for 5 days and died. Again repeated reboots wouldn't coax the connection back to life but my Netgear router worked fine. I thought I'd try userland ppp because my intuition leads me to believe it may be able to handle odd connection drops etc more robustly. Also I can't work out how to get any kind of logs from kernel pppoe. Will
