PPPoE for RH 7.3

I dropped adsl-start & adsl-stop into .etc/rc.d/rc3.d / rc5.d scripts,
IIRC...

I've since moved on to a linksys wireless AP, & it does it for me, so I
disabled PPPoE on the RH box.  Moved it back to the internal network,
with "pass to's" in the linksys box.

Got it, and it seems to work, except that adsl-config didn't name
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 correctly and ifup ppp0
doesn't seem to work, but adsl-start does.

We'll see when next I reboot if it starts on boot correctly because of
that.

Thanks.
