I can pretty much remember what I did, for a RH 7.2 system:

    - install "rp-pppoe" RPM, that's the Roaring Penguin stuff. it
      comes on the RH72 CD, handily enough.

    - run their NON-GUI setup tool, the GUI one is broken!  Obviously
      you need your username and password.  This'll set up your
      chap-secrets etc.

    - run "adsl-start" as root and you should be laughing.

that's it ;)
