PPPoE for DSL


I'm new to Linux and of course to Slackware. My internet connection is DSL, and I need to know how I can connect. Does the PPPoE driver included in the Slackware installation cd? I've searched the web but found nothing about PPPoE and Slackware.

HELP Me!!!

On one of the disks, under extra, it appears that there is a Roaring Penguin PPPoE client (rp-pppoe-3.3-i386-1.tgz.)

The file description is as follows:

"PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a protocol used by many ADSL Internet Service Providers. Roaring Penguin has a free client for Linux systems to connect to PPPoE service providers.

The client is a user-mode program and does not require any kernel modifications. It is fully compliant with RFC 2516, the official PPPoE specification."
