It isn't necessary to reboot to start pppoe. "pon provider" or "pon dsl-provider" brings up the default pppoe connection. "poff provider" or "poff dsl-provider" will disconnect.
The file /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot simply makes this happen when you start your computer.
"provider" and "dsl-provider" are found in /etc/ppp/peers/.
Dunno what's happening in Boston.
