A week ago I found myself in the situation you describe: have to
configure a DSL without pppoeconf. It turned out that the sample ppp
configuration file for DSL providers in /etc/ppp/ was perfect. I just
need to rename it to /etc/ppp/options and add the relevant
authentication information in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
Maybe we can set up a tool to automate this process, but ATM it isn't
worst than a non-DSL ppp set up.
Cheers.
