If it's an IPStream-based ISP (like most UK ones), you are really
in PPPoA land. PPPoE might work depending on your 'phone exchange

No it's not, PPPoE over LLC is formally supported by BT on IPStream
(with MTU caveats noted) as listed in SIN386.
I use it all the time to allow cruddy DSL boxes to be used in simple
Ethernet<>DSL bridge mode so that the PPP endpoint is the OpenBSD
firewall.
