Try this in your dsl-provider file :
pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1452"
or
pty "/usr/sbin/pppoe -I eth0 -T 80 -m 1412"
and in the same file, set :
mtu 1492
Same results. Web works fine, e-mail hangs after getting the number
of new messages available. :-( I also tried playing with flow control -
changing it to software instead of hardware, since there is "no modem"
with fiber. (In actuality, I guess the modem is the ONT on the outside
of my house, which converts the signal from fiber to ethernet and back.)
