  12 The `pppoe` hook creates a PPPoE connection to your ISP.
  13
  14 == OPTIONS
  15 The following options are understood:
  16
  17 `--username=USERNAME`::
  18         Sets the username for authentication.
  19
  20 `--password=PASSWORD`::
  21         Sets the password for authentication.
  22         +
  23         Use the `--auth=` option to transmit it in a secure manner to the provider.
  24
  25 `--mtu=N`::
  26         Sets the default MTU of the PPP connection.
  27
  28 `--auth=[chap|pap]`::
  29         Define the authentication method that is used to authenticate against your
  30         provider. The default is to use the provider's preference.
  31
  32         * _Challange-Handshake Authentication Protocol_ (`chap`) is the preferred,
  33         secure method.
  34         * _Password Authentication Protocol_ (`pap`) sends the plaintext password
  35         to the authentication server which is the reason why it should be avoided.

  38         By this option, you may define the name of the access concentrator.
  39
