You can sidestep the whole problem if you can get the modem to do bridging 
mode. This is also a way more reliable solution. I think that almost all *DSL 
providers support this. Have yet to come across one that doesn't.

With bridging mode you can throw that shakey pppoe solution in the circular 
filing cabinet and use a plain dhcp client to get an IP, default gateway and 
whatever.

Cheers,

like atof() does.  Oddly enough, Perl calls atof().  How convenient.  :-)
