/usr/lib/inet/pppoec Utility

The /usr/lib/inet/pppoec utility is responsible for negotiating the client side of a PPPoE tunnel. pppoec is similar to the Solaris PPP 4.0 chat utility, in that you do not invoke it directly. Rather, you start /usr/lib/inet/pppoec as an argument to the connect option of pppd.
