Try the below link to get you started. I setup someone on the XP side
using the supplied disks. It took so long connecting to the internet via
first time setup, I dared not venture into getting Linux to work there
personally.
PPPoE uses an IP address that has limited conectivity. Then it does some
PPP stuff that I have no idea with some porthole device or something.

Good luck, I did a google search for "pppoe setup on linux" . I believe
that adding PPPoE might flag some that have successfully setup PPPoE.
