I recalled reading a PPPoE thread on a list a few months ago, so I grepped around and found something on the Mid-Atlantic LUG archives: http://boudicca.tux.org/mhonarc/ma-linux/2000/2000-Oct/msg00229.html
At that page, Billy Ball breifly sketches out how you can set up PPPoE with tools from roaring penguin: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
If you can't find everything you were looking for on the roaring penguin page, and msg00229, you might find tweaks in the PPPoE threads here: http://boudicca.tux.org/mhonarc/ma-linux/2000/2000-Oct/index.html
I hope the two first URLs give you the PPPoE server leads you were looking for.

We are looking to test various DSL modems and routers in our lab, but can't get a DSL connection put in that building according to Verizon. I'd like to simulate one by running my own PPPoE server (my purpose is to test the various SOHO routers on the market, particularly the Linksys and the Cisco).
If anyone has any information about doing this, such as pointers to PPPoE server software (I'd prefer to do it with linux or BSD), I would appreciate the info.
linux kernel 2.4 supports (for some flavors of "support", i suppose) PPPOE in the kernel. i think suse 7.1 is the only non-beta, shipping 2.4-kernel-enabled distribution available at retail at the moment. also, just try google. there are thousands of hits; the first page or two seems to have all the information you might want regarding "pppoe linux". -- Henry Yen Aegis Information Systems, Inc.
