I had the same problem in France, but it's really quite straightforward
(unless you have a non-technical manager in France, on the phone to you,
whilst you're waiting at Gatwick Airport for an incoming flight and
neither of you can hear the other!)

Use the same config as an 837, but instead put "pppoe enable" and
"pppoe-client dial-pool-number 1" on Ethernet1.  Set your static default
route up to the Dialer, and configure it as per PPPoA.

Let me know if you'd like a full config - but the above should get you
started.

Best wishes,


Peter.
