pppoeconf try to use sudo or su-to-root to become root.
If you have not sudo or menu package on your system,
pppoeconf warn you to become root and exit. If you have
a better suggestion, don't hesitate. Perhaps add gksu
support if it's installed... For example, on line 42:

--8<--
+elif which gksu >/dev/null; then
+     exec gksu "$0" "$@" || exit 1
--8<--
