Works just fine as I've implemented it for a number of "work at home" folks.
The Linksys took care of the PPPoE login junk, and so long as PacBell/SBC
doesn't bump their connection, it just works. Of course, all these folks
are technical and can troubleshoot the problem and know to reset their VPN
software if needed (or how to get into the Linksys admin webpage to make
sure the PPPoE is authenticated). I wouldn't even allow a non-technical
person to have such a connection, it'd be a support nightmare.
