Just as an FYI, I think we'll start to see more and more ISP's start to
require PPPoE, even if they're giving out static, non-RFC1928 address
space. On the ISP side, the RedBack's have had support this for some
time now. I don't believe Cisco does yet, but they might in the latest
12.0 service-provider image.
As far as Linux and PPPoE, I know there's a Debian package that supports
it, but I haven't used it.
