If you are going to upgrade to 12.3(x), I suggest you use 12.3(12b) which 
is stable and works well for ATM PPPoE/PPPoA/PPPoEoA aggregation - we use 
it here. Cisco apparently made a number of changes to the ATM handling code 
in 12.3(13) and it isn't stable yet according to the broadband aggregation 
L2 techs at TAC. In fact, 12.3(13) is now deferred. One MAJOR caveat we 
found which is easily fixed is that there is something different about the 
way the RADIUS secret is stored in 12.3 vs. 12.2. When upgrading, sessions 
will not authenticate. If you look at your secret, it will look fine, but 
it isn't. Re-enter the radius key after upgrading and rebooting then it 
will work fine.
