I'm using the rp pppoe patch and 2.4.19-pre6.  I setup my options/user 
file and ran 'pppd eth0', worked perfectly the first time.

# cat /etc/ppp/options         
plugin rp-pppoe.so
name <username>
nodefaultroute

# cat /etc/ppp/pap-secrets 
<username> * <password>

# pppd --version
Warning: plugin rp-pppoe.so has no version information
Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.
RP-PPPoE plugin version 3.3 compiled against pppd 2.4.2b1
pppd version 2.4.2b1

I don't use the DSL connection as my default route thus the 
'nodefaultroute' statement.

It works very well save for frequent but seemingly innocuous OOPses.
