PPPoE was a bad idea from the start.  It was rammed through as  
Informational by a few industry advocates despite warnings and the  
stern disapproval of essentially every participant in the PPPEXT  
working group, simply because some large providers didn't want to  
change their view that all ISP customers should look like dial-up  
users.  Get over it and use a real protocol, just as Jim recommends.
