I've encountered setups (iirc in Denmark?) where the telco terminates their line as an RJ-11 and an RJ-45. You can then plug into that either a router that talks PPPoE on an ethernet port, or directly into NIC in your computer and talk PPPoE there. This is where PPPoE clients like rp-pppoe and their ilk come into play. You can even do (rudimentary) sharing of the ADSL by plumbing it into a hub. Any other client connected to the hub can kick off a PPPoE session. Not many telcos do this these days I think..
