I copied /usr/pkg/share/examples/rp-pppoe/pppoe.conf to /etc/ppp/
and changed what I needed:

  ETH=fxp0
  USER="my username"
  DEMAND=180

[DEMAND shuts down the connection afte 180 seconds without traffic]
You should read the man page again with this example at hand.

Depending on your ISP you probably need CHAP or PAP authentication.
I use CHAP and created /etc/ppp/chap-secrets (don't forget
'chmod 600 chap-secrets'). The format is described in pppd(8).

  # client       server  secret             ip-addresses
  "my username"  *       "secret password"  *

Maybe you have to use a specific name for the 'server' field, but that
should be in your docs from the ISP.
