Hi!
Lets do it one by one...
(following remarks are based on my experience with Orkit modem, so if the
Alcatel is different, please let me know).
The ADSL modem conects to a host LAN card with a regular 10Bt cabel. If
you
want to connect it to a hub you need a cross cable ( 1 to 3 , 2 to 6 3 to
1 and 6 to 2 ) . If you take a hub with a "uplink port" you may use this
to connect your modem with a regular cable.
once you have your ADSL running with a hub (or switch), you can add the
other hosts to the hub. give them addresses like 10.200.1.2 etc . now your
Linux will have no problem to pptp to 10.0.0.138 .

You probably had some error with netmasks. Also i noticed that the ADSL do
not like masks larger than 255.0.0.0
