I posted last year about a problem I was having with Linux's PPPoE functionality in regards to a specific modem. At the time I put it down to a dodgy modem and moved on, but now I've hit it on another modem, and twice seems more than coincidence.
You aren't a Telstra customer are you?

As said, I had similar issues - and it is an Optus network.
I'm currently with Exetel, and I'm pretty sure I'm on an Optus DSLAM. I'm going to change provider in the near-ish future; hoping to get onto bonded DSL (or at least multilink ppp) in an attempt to get something vaguely resembling usable throughput to my house.
