If you're on woody/sid, simply install the pppoe deb and read the docs
in /usr/share/doc/pppoe as well as the manpages.
If you're on potato, you can either use the outdated pppoe in potato
(not recommended) or get the latest release of rp-pppoe from
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
and build it from source. The site above also has generic installation
instructions. In addition to that, I'd recommend downloading the woody
deb _manually_, extract it (dpkg -x $file.deb pppoe) and read the
Debian docs. This will also give you config files tailored to Debian
and explain some Debianisms concerning pppoe/pppd. This way you could
still use the Debian setup with you home-brew rp-pppoe binary.
I'm afraid I don't have many URLs for English HOWTOs at hand, but
you'll find some pointers here:
http://www.datenhighway.com/adsl/linux-adsl-links.html
http://www.adsl4linux.de/infos/
But IMO, general HOWTOs can be rather confusing. It might actually be
easier looking at the contents of the pppoe deb and start from there.
