What type of connection are we talking about here? Are you sure it's PPPoE you need at all?
If it is, you might want to check out
Roaring Penguin PPPoE. I fiddled with the (supposedly) built-in PPPoE for hours on end after installing Mandrake on my PC, only to find out that .... it didn't work :-|
rp-pppoe did the trick, though, and it was surprisingly easy to configure once installed, simply type 'adsl-setup' or something similar in the console and then type in your info.
Don't know about A1's, though, but there is a PPC version.
---Edit---
I just reread your first post, where it says you found pppoeconf, do you mean pppoe.conf?
Because if you do, you might already have Roaring Penguin installed. Try typing
adsl-setup in the console (as root), and after that you might need to type
adsl-start (can't quite remember).
