well, by default, " pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1" will bring up the
pppoe connection without interesting traffic. But there is a 20 second
retry timer once the connection drops, which can be modified using the
"pppoe-client dialer-pool-number <pool> restart <restart timeout>" in
recent 12.4 images (requires the fix for  CSCeg79536).
