PPPoE connections weren't possible with a GUI in Hardy afaik. Except of the error messages most of the mentioned problems should be fixed in Intrepid through the new NetworkManager but simple GUI configuration of modem connections seem to need an extra package now. Btw. afaik Windows don't post detailed error messages too. It just informs you that the connection is broken. Same for Mac afaik.
