"some fundamental limitations will remain: only IP networks, UDP packets
and *ethernet devices* are supported."

A PPP or PPPoE interface is not an ethernet device, so unless the
documentation is outdated, you cannot use ppp0. If you setup netconsole
to send packets through eth0 to the PPPoE access concentrator MAC
address, it is very unlikely they they will reach the remote server.
