I have been able to get the Roaring penguin client that comes with Slackware 10.1 to work. It uses adsl-start, adsl-setup and adsl-stop. If your distro has the same client, try adsl-setup and see if it lets you put in the parameters. If so, then try adsl-start once the setup is complete and see if you can connect that way. I am currently behind a router which talks to the modem with PPP-O-E, and talks to my machine with DHCP. HTH.
