if you have redhat or redhat variant installed, it should come with pppoe. its fairly easy to setup.

alternatively, you can get a Netgear or Linksys (or anyother brand) DSL/Cable Router. These routers are fairly easy to setup and you dont have to bother installing any application to start your connection. Just setup a plain ethernet in the same subnet as the router and everytime you need to connect to the internet, the router will automatically connect.

Hope this helps.
