I also use rp-pppoe-3.0 on a 486/50MHz box running NetBSD-1.5 for
3 months now and i never had any problems. Max. download rate is
is about 90kB/s and i didn't expierience any stability problems 
so far.
But of course it's nice to read that it's possible to use pppoe
on a NetBSD-system without a roaring penguin ;-)
