I disagree because configuring a pppoe client with pure ppp is far too
complicated. For people who haven't got a router and establish their
DSL connections directly from their PC it's much easier to configure
the pppoe client and establish the connections with rp-pppoe than with
pure ppp. I tried both and reverted very fast to rp-pppoe.

And because configuring and establishing the DSL connections is an
essential task and also necessary on the LiveCD I think that rp-pppoe
needs to stay in [core] and in the base group.

Greetings,
Heiko
