You will need ppp
and rp-pppoe
packages. These still are not part of Owl, but you can get them from Gremlin's FTP server:
rpm -Uvh ftp://home.gremlin.ru/pub/linux/Owl/RPMS.i386/ppp-2.4.4-g1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh ftp://home.gremlin.ru/pub/linux/Owl/RPMS.i386/rp-pppoe-3.8-g1.i386.rpm

pppoe-start
command to fire up the PPPoE link. This command may be issued from startup script - say, rc.local
