- pppoeconf for Debian
- ====================
-
- This is pppoeconf, a tiny utility that makes configuration of DSL links more
- comfortable. In theory, it does the same things that anybody would do by hand,
- but avoids the usual human errors (like forgotten quotes).
-
- Since version 1.0.4, the pppoe plugin of pppd is used, along with the
- discovery utility provided by the pppd package and a script to enable MSS
- clamping in the kernel space. Previously (or even now if old ppp package is
- installed), the pppoe utility is used (also known as RP-PPPoE) which does the
- same jobs in an equal manner.
-
- NOTE: If you have been using a pppoeconf version between 1.0.4 and 1.0.13 and
- you have configured IP filters on your machine, you should reconfigure the
- interface or edit the iptables script /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0clampmss and replace
- -A with -I there. Otherwise, the MSS clamping rule will not be inserted in
- the correct location.

- Timeout waiting for PADO socket
- -------------------------------
-
- pppoeconf don't set lcp-echo-interval and lcp-echo-failure options (ppp
- default values are commented in ``/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider``).
- Don't forget to adjust this values for your connection (see
- ``/etc/ppp/options`` file or pppd(8) to have more details).
-
-
- Persistent connections (i.e. start again if actual connection is down)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- pppoeconf don't set persist/maxfail/holdoff option. But they are commented
- in ``/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider`` and uncomment them if you want to have
- ppp persistent connections (see ``/etc/ppp/options`` file or pppd(8) to
- have more details).
