sounds like you haven't setup pppoeto the non-standards 3 com parameters.
Take a look here.

Heres the relevant extract
" If you're running Linux, get the PPPoE client from Roaring Penguin. There
is an option in the /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf configuration file to specifically
resolve this issue with 3Com Dual Link. I got this working before Zyxel
sent me the firmware upgrade. This wasn't a long-term solution for me
because I only occasionally run Linux, and didn't want to dedicate a PC to
running Linux in order to share connect. But this can work well for the
technically inclined if you have a hub and an old PC gathering dust.
Excerpt from file
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf
...
# Rumour has it that "Citizen's Communications" with a 3Com
# HomeConnect ADSL Modem DualLink requires
these extra options:
PPPOE_EXTRA="-f 3c12:3c13 -S ISP"
..."
I am thinking of doing this and would like to know your result:-)
I am unsure what your comment about "VCI/VPI=0/100", Where does this fit in.
Wasn't someone gonna do a HOWTO?
