I've never used it, but the Debian pppoe package looks pretty straight
forward -- it's just one additional binary which the standard ppp daemon
communicates with via a pipe. Here's an example ppp configuration file
included with the package:
pty "pppoe -I eth0 -T 80"
noipdefault
defaultroute
hide-password
lcp-echo-interval 20
lcp-echo-failure 3
mtu 1492
mru 2400
noauth
persist
If you're not using Debian, it looks like you can find a copy of the
upstream source at http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe.html, as well as
some additional documentation.
Let us know how it works out!
