box[~]11:03:39$ man pppoectl | grep -- -n
box[~]11:03:43$ man pppoectl | grep -- query
box[~]11:04:00$ 

like i said, last time i checked (March 1st, it's in the mail archives),
this wasn't a feature (and mss clamping didn't seem to work either, now
that i'm thinking about it), and i haven't upgraded pppoectl et c. since
then.  well, looks like it might be time for an upgrade--i'd be interested
to see if it makes things any faster...
