+3Com have done some very weird things to the PPPoE implementation in the HomeConnect. To be able to speak to this modem in FreeBSD 4.x
you need to do the following:
-sysctl net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe=1
+
sysctl net.graph.nonstandard_pppoe=1
+
+In FreeBSD 5.x, don't touch the above sysctl just set
+
+ set pppoe 3Com
+
+in your ppp.conf file.
And to stop the connection dying every 15 seconds , add the following lines to your ppp.conf:
-enable lqr
-set lqrperiod 10
+
enable lqr
+ set lqrperiod 10
+
+Also, from FreeBSD 5.4 onward, you need to set
+
+ enable echo
+As the LQR option was seperated from the LCP ECHO option.
