Usually pppoeconf asks if it should configure to start it at boot time.
You should try that first again i suggest.


Howerver it should create a symlink in /etc/ppp/  :
$ ls -l /etc/ppp/
[...]
ppp_on_boot -> pppoe_on_boot


Snipped from /etc/init.d/ppp:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ -x /usr/sbin/pppd -a -f /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot ] || exit 0
if [ -x /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot ]; then RUNFILE=1; fi
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
