I tried the pppoe script with a friends Sagem 800 USB modem, and it worked! Thanks for that!
I do have suggestions though:
- make the script check it's running as root before attempting to do it's stuff.
- make the script verify that LOGIN, PASSWORD, VPI and VCI have been edited.
- make sure that those two debian packages have been installed.

Thank for reporting that it worked for you.

Now u can just use ubuDSL. It's very easy :)

Is there a version for Karmic Koala?
