I recently setup a Bering box on Sprint DSL in Florida (thanks to James
Sturdevant). They use PPPoE but all of the PPPoE stuff was taken care of
by the modem (XyZel) so I simply turned on the modem's bridge mode and
configured the bering box as a normal eth0,eth1 setup with no PPP stuff.
The only bit of black magic to get the whole thing working was to power
cycle the LAN switch.
