Have you tried Roaring Penguin's PPPoE client ?? It worked
*perfectly* for me although I've ran into numerous people
who've had trouble with it. In all honesty, I think they were
simply "newbies" (too impatient, didn't read the docs, etc).
The website for the utility is here:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
They have a HOW-TO-CONNECT file here:

it out, read it, and keep it handy !!
