OK, so I configured /etc/hostname.pppoe0 as described in pppoe(4):
# The following line is all in one line
inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 NONE pppoedev fxp0 authproto pap authname
'myUsername' authkey 'myPassword' up
dest 0.0.0.1
!/sbin/route add default 0.0.0.1
and the corresponding ifconfig output is:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33224
groups: lo
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5
rl0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 00:0d:61:03:77:63

inet6 fe80::20a:cdff:fe10:2bc5%pppoe0 -> prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
inet 0.0.0.0 --> 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xffffffff
So I got rid of the nagging IPv6 message (nevermind what that was) but
I still can't manage to connect.
Amit.
