The in-kernel version is of course the better sollution. Unfortunately
it is only available in NetBSD-current right now and without support
for MSS clamping it is "less useful" than "rp-pppoe" at the moment.

The german T-DSL service (768KBit/Sec down, 128KBit/Sec up) uses 20% CPU
time on a friend's machine using a similar configuration. If your DSL
server isn't much faster a P90 should be enough even with "rp-pppoe".

	Kind regards
