ppp(8) v. 3.1 : PPPoE lqr problem.

Are you sure you actually connect to an ERX on the other end, and its 
actually negotiating LQR ?  e.g. if you add LQM to the logging section, do 
you see
tun0: LQM: deflink: Will send LQR every 10.00 secs
or do you see
tun0: LQM: deflink: LQR/ECHO LQR not negotiated

What do you have for your ppp.conf ? I have

  enable lqr
  accept lqr
  set lqrperiod 10

Like I said, its very possible the telco has the ERX misconfigured and yes, 
its impossible to get this level of detail out of them :-(
