Both e-smith 3.1 and the soon-to-be-released 4.0 do not support PPPoE; we anticipate including PPPoE support in the next release after 4.0, which will be out in the fall some time.

If you are adventurous and do not need technical support from e-smith, you can try installing your own PPPoE support. We have heard several reports of success using Roaring Penguin:

I had no problem adding it here.  Just set it up with no internet side info,
and then installed Roaring Penguin according to the instructions,  I started it  25 days ago and it is still running.  Really needs a script to bring it up, but I will probably wait for a power failure or something
