The debian pppoe package is a packaging of Roaring Penguin's PPPOE (PPP
over ethernet) client.  There's probably an RPM of it somewhere, but you
can get it as sources from http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products.html

urrrrr.  So?  This is not talking about dialup PPP, this is to do with
PPPOE - PPP over Ethernet which is a standard many DSL companies use.
