   I had a look at all the docs for my Injoy ver 2.3 but found no 
mention of pppoe.  However, these days I use Safefire which does support 
pppoe.  Check out Safefire at Linkguard Solutions:
        http://www.lgs.kiev.ua/
(This is a significant example of software for OS/2 coming from the 
non-Anglo world.  Innotek and RSJ are other examples).

   A couple of years ago I got a customer linked up to ADSL with little 
trouble.  But his was not Telstra and not pppoe.  His connection was 
given a fixed IP.  The connection to the modem was via RJ45 ethernet. 
The computer was fitted with two NICs, one for the LAN and the 2nd for 
the ADSL.
