The setup I want.
>> Linux box as firewall/router/NAT/server
>> Buy a ethernet modem (ie a box I plug into my ethernet card)
>> eth0 is the connection to the modem
>> run pppeo over eth0 to paradise (my ISP)
>> so pppoe0 is the device that is my route to the internet?

If you want a Linux box to be the only NAT device and have a public IP on
the box then the only successful implementation reported to this list is
PPPoE via a 3Com Dual Link.
