Sigh. I feel sorry for you :) (just because up to now I've had six customers with this 
ISP).
Anyway I always managed to get through more or less :).

Don't worry, you would only find Telecom pages completely useless, if not confusing. 
And don't even thing about
contacting their tech support.

Yes, I've presently two FreeBSD machine working, one using PPPoE with an ethernet 
modem and two with a IP-level
router.
In case bridging (as suggested by someone else) doesn't work, try PPPoE (I've always 
seen this type of connection here).

        av.

P.S. Expect some things not to work: it's beyond your control, it's not your setup, 
but ISP's fault.
