  Well, it might be the going concern for residential, but almost no soho/business
installations I'm familliar with will tolerate pppoe.  There just isn't a
point. We do not want the address negotiated, we do not need another password 
that could be divulged, and we *do* want some address space behind the box.

  PPPoE deployment ==> more NAT in my opinion.
