GUI way:
While living at Chapel Hill, I had BellSouth ADSL and Mandrake. Very 
easy to set up. Use the internet connnection wizard, select ADSL 
conenction, enter the data and you are done!

Probably it will ask you for the CDs to install rp-pppoe package.

CLI way:
You can install the package rp-pppoe by hand, check the man pages for 
rp-pppoe and run the adsl-setup (or something similar), answer a few 
questions and you are on the net.


Salut,
