Mainly for Nigel, but not sure how many other Linux users are on the

DSL Over PPPoE
(Contributed by Robert C. Pilkington, with some additions by yours tom)
What Is PPPoE?
Citing from the 'PPPoE FAQ':
Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet is a proposal
specifying how a host personal computer (PC) interacts
with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc)
to achieve access to the growing number of Highspeed
data networks. Relying on two widely accepted standards,
Ethernet and the point-to-point protocol (PPP), the PPPoE
implementation requires virtually no more knowledge on the
part of the end user other than that required for standard
Dialup Internet access. In addition, PPPoE requires no
major changes in the operational model for Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) and carriers.
