Add the following config to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf

xs4all:
 set device PPPoE:NETWORKINTERFACE
 set authname USERNAME@xs4all.nl
 set authkey PASSWORD
 set dial
 set login
 add default HISADDR

Replace NETWORKINTERFACE, USERNAME and PASSWORD with your own information.

Now configure the boot settings for the PPP connection.

ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="xs4all"

As last start the PPP client

/etc/rc.d/ppp start

The end is near, the fall of time. Extinguish the flame, with no one to blame.
