I seem to recall having this problem at the beginning... Are you sure
all modules are loaded ?

modules used on my systems are :

pppoe                   6384   2 
pppox                   1232   1  [pppoe]
ppp_generic            12928   3  [pppoe pppox]
slhc                    4720   0  [ppp_generic]

I use the following line from a script to launch my connection.

/usr/sbin/pppd eth1 nodetach defaultroute lcp-echo-interval 20
lcp-echo-failure 3

my /etc/ppp/options contains:

defaultroute
plugin /usr/lib/pppd/plugins/pppoe.so
name <login name to my ISP>
