These are the settings from pppoe.conf that I use for my 3COM on JetStart.

----------------------------------------
# LCP echo interval and failure count.
LCP_INTERVAL=14
LCP_FAILURE=3

# PPPOE_TIMEOUT should be about 4*LCP_INTERVAL
PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80

# Rumour has it that "Citizen's Communications" with a 3Com
# HomeConnect ADSL Modem DualLink requires these extra options:
PPPOE_EXTRA="-f 3c12:3c13 -S ISP"
----------------------------------------

I don't think I've had any problems.
Apart from one day where I had full JetStream speed for most of the day :)
Utilised it to d/l Slackware-Current :)

I changed the adsl-start script to not use the firewall script from roaring
penguin as I was happy with my existing one.

I added another script that calls the adsl-start one so I can easily change
from JetStart to JetStream Games (adsl-start can take a username as a
parameter).
