I have run SuSE for awhile. 7.3 has a package named rp-pppoe, the
rpm for Roaring Penguin. Install this and use YaST1 to install the
NIC if is not already. Do not give it any IP address.
Next as root, start adsl-setup and input the username with domain,
password, NIC (either eth0 or eth1 usually), and DNS (should be
209.193.4.7 and 209.193.4.8).
No IP address is necessary. Then as root fireup the connection
by starting adsl-start .
Wala. Online.
Now set up a second NIC with NAT and have fun.

PS. I responded to the original poster the day he posted.
