One great way to fill up your /var partition is to have maxretries (in
your ppp peers file) set to zero so if the pppoa2/3 modules fails it
will keep retsrating for ever. Set it to a reasnoble value like 10.
Its partly my fault on pppoa3 'cause I suggested the logging appends
instead of starting from scratch each time it runs. It makes it easier
to track down problems when they do occur (which should'n be that
often).
And of course -v 2 is only really useful if you intend to decode ATM
cells.

ps. pppoa3 has been running fine without hic-ups for the last 7 days.
