Well if the modem does PPPoE itself (and preusmably NAT) then you need no
speical support from the OS. From its poitn of view you are just conencted
via ethernet.

If you need the machine to do PPPoE, ppp supports PPPoE. For this to work, though, you need netgraph, which isn't in GENERIC. You will need to make a custom kernel and build your own set of custom floppies.
