It doesn't have an internet connection if it's not terminating PPP. You have ifconfig_fxp0="DHCP" which means you are picking up DHCP from the modem itself not the other side of the PPP link. In bridging mode you only need to configure the underlying ethernet device if you want to route back-out into the router's LAN (PPPoE and IP can share a lan). You don't necessarily need DHCP with PPPoE because PPP can deliver the IP address, DNS etc by itself. If the ISP requires you to use DHCP you should probably have configured the tun0 interface instead of fxp0.
