Description Dimitar Popov 2006-02-02 09:05:17 UTC 
There are a number of parameters that can't be passed to connection handling executable files called by SMPPPD, because it does not allow it. For example, the RP-PPPOE pppoe executable which is called by SMPPPD, supports -S parameter which tells pppoe to send the service name in a Service-Name tag in the PADO frame; however SMPPPD does not support such parameter.

One quick solution could be to add AdditionalParameters in the config files of SMPPPD so that the user can pass whatever parameters he/she wishes to the underlying connection handler called by SMPPPD. Otherwise, SMPPPD should expose all connection-handler-specific parameters to the user. A better approach might be to implement all parameters described in the corresponding RFC of the selected protocol.

did you try 

PPPD_OPTIONS

in your ifcfg file?
