I used Yahoo! SBCGlobal aDSL for about 5 years with fedora, now owned by 
AT&T.
You need to have the dns server ip´s they give you.
Then, well, at least with FC1-FC3, I know.
Then, run adsl-setup at terminal and follow the prompts.  Rather easy.
It will ask you for your username and password and the DNS servers, 
which network device (probably eth0 or eth1).
Then, to connect you will run ifup ppp0, to disconnect ifdown ppp0
to check status ifstatus ppp0.

J'ai employé Yahoo ! ADSL de SBCGlobal pendant 5 années avec le fedora, 
maintenant possédé par AT&T.
Vous avez besoin des adresses IPs de serveur de DNS qu´ils vous donnent.
Puis, vous faite pour courir adsl-setup au terminal et suivent les 
messages de sollicitation.
Plutôt facile. Il vous demandera votre username et mot de passe et les 
serveurs de DNS,
qui dispositif de réseau (probablement eth0 ou eth1).
Puis, pour se relier, vous emploierez ifup ppp0, pour débrancher, ifdown 
ppp0 et pour vérifier le statut, ifstatus ppp0.
