Hi Rich,

so I recently tried that as well (while testing pppoe via ADSL2+, since then I 
changed to VDSL2.vectoring where I have not yet tried to set up a pppoe client 
on cerowrt); and also did not succeed.

I just found a recent discussion on the openwrt forum:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=257288#p257288

which might help a bit further, also I learned from a different forum post that 
in the BCP38 tab of the firewall you need to allow the modems address(range) as 
otherwise BCP38 will disallow connections to the modem.
        I tried to name the interface for the modem se-modem or so, hoping that 
this would fall under the ipset’s Dave uses for the firewall and automatically 
allow traffic from the non-guest networks (but since I did not get it to work 
that theory might be bogus as well).

        Oh, if you manage to set this up I would love to get your recepie so 
the next time I play with PPPoE  I will still have access to the modem… ;)

Best Regards
        Sebastian
