You need PPP compile into the kernel or as a module. I usually
set it up as a module since I don't use PPP all the time. With
the PPPoE package, I use the following string to make a
connection:
# /usr/sbin/pppd pty 'pppoe' noauth defaultroute user $USER mtu $MTU
$USER is my username and I don't always set an mtu, try without
it first. noauth sets it so you don't need to authenticate your
peer and defaultroute sets the assigned IP address as your
default route. Be sure that your password is listed in
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets and/or /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
