AFAICS there are three or more ways of using DSL:
- direct access
- PPtP (simple encrypted tunnel protocol)
- PPPoE (PPP tunneled over Ethernet)
So first find out what the provider does really use.

Errr, "kernel-pppoe" and "pppoe" (aka rp-pppoe) are completely different
implementations. You do not need kernel 2.4.x for Debian's pppoe.
