Here is a pretty popular pppoe client:

We have a problem where one of our ISPs requires us to make a DHCP
request every 6 hours or they cut off our connection. Even though we
pay for a "business class" connection and static IP, we have to make a
DHCP request at regular intervals or their firewall blocks our traffic.
:-( It's a terrible setup, but it's the only broadband provider in the
area.
