Like I said, I don't have pppoe so I don't know, but to my understanding when u have pppoe, you have to dial-in(or login) whatever you want to called it. so having a ppp device to do that make sense. that's why there is ppp in pppoe.

ppp does though and its only usable by root

Worth a try but it dosn't make sense to me that that could be the problem,
application talk ask the kernel to send packets for them, I don't think they
use ppp directly.
Is there anything relervant in dmesg or /var/log/ ?
What error messages go you get when you try to use ping/ftp etc?
