Hello,

I don't know exactly if different ISP need different configuration, but 
the following minimal configuration worked always for me:

# cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
myisp:
   set device PPPoE:<interface>
   set log Phase IPCP CCP Warning Error Alert
   add! default HISADDR
   set authname <name>
   set authkey <key>


====== excerpt from rc.conf =====
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_profile="myisp"
======

I don't need to add lines like

   ifconfig_xxxx=up
   ifconfig_tun0="DHCP"


Regards
Björn
