SBC uses standard PPPoE, so just like PPPoE on any broadband router works,
so does kernel pppoe or rp-pppoe in Linux. SuSE had both, and another
post mentioned that rp-pppoe should be on your RH CD.
It uses ppp0 interface, so setting up firewall/masquerade is just like for
dialup ppp (ie, firewall/masq can be started or refreshed from
/etc/ppp/ip-up or ip-up.local which runs when IP address is assigned).
