Just "apt-get install pppoe" and "zless
/usr/share/doc/pppoe/README.Debian.gz" should do fine, it runs very
/fine on mine machine (which in fact was a woody one).

Yes, you need an DNS IP, if you want to use normal Adresses and not IP
adresses if you use any service ;)
If their support doesn't know them (doesn't show them in bright light),
try to use the "usepeerdns" Option. Most ISPs send their DNS Adresses
during connect negotiations.
