I don't know how much ppoeconf has changed in the last year, but when I 
last used it it worked fine with Qwest in the states. (they allow ppoe 
or ppoa in some areas)

For most systems 'provider' would be given as user at provider in the 
username field, ie:

sdier at qwest.net

At least thats how its implemented here.  Most radius servers treat the 
stuff after @ as a realm, which is how the qwest system works, afaik. 
(you can get access from, say, iphouse.com instead and in theory you end 
up with username at iphouse.com)

Thanks,
