For other readers T-DSL is ADSL named after the Telekom
To connect with bering 1.0 you use the ppp and pppoe package 
Assuming that your eth0 is connected to the external interface -> dsl modem

Change the settings to 
Package  ppp


System wide ppp settings

# /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
auth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx
...............................
Pap secret
[EMAIL PROTECTED] * PASSWORD
don't forget the @t-online.de part   
if you use special symbols in Password put it in Quotes ""
--------------------------------------------------
pppoe
1 dsl provider

plugin /usr/lib/pppd/pppoe.so
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
noipdefault
defaultroute

lcp-echo-interval 20
lcp-echo-failure 3

ppp0   eth1 

---------------------------------------
shorewall interfaces
net  ppp0 -   -
--------------------------------------

shorewall config
CLAMPMSS=yes
----------------------------
basic setup interfaces
auto ppp0
iface ppp0 inet ppp
        pre-up ip link set eth0 up
        provider dsl-provider eth0
------------------------


Attention your external interface is ppp0 not eth0
To bring the connection up 
use  
ifup ppp0 

don't use pon ( this tries to connect over a serial line)

down with
ifdown ppp0

hope I didn't forget anything.
if you haven't a flat rate you should set the demand  option. 
that 's all
ignore the message cannot change mtu or mru setting to 1500 they don't harm :)
