It is my experience that PPPoE as an LNS or PPPoE relay on the 871, 
although seemingly supported by the 871 via the feature navigator, it 
actually isn't.  The 871 never answers the PADI.  Quite frustrating.  I 
tried to report it many years ago and my TAC case went nowhere.

Maybe find yourself a 1700 series (1710?) and try on that platform, I 
spent many frustrating hours trying to get the 871 to do this.
