Are you really sure that you need PPPoE?  I'm on a cable modem, and PPP doesn't
even show up here.  The cable modem, like your ASDL modem just becomes another
part of an ethernet network.  Check the FAQ's, especially FAQ 6, then read
OpenBSD Diary and FreeBSD Diary to see how to implement NAT and ipfilter.
