Here is a link to the NetBSD documentation on the subject:
	http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/pppoe/

This assumes the in-kernel PPPoE implementation.  You may want to try the
user-space version first. ('rp-pppoe' mentioned below)

Please provide a better description of what kind of help you need.
If you've already tried various PPPoE methods and have not been able to 
get something working we need to know what you've tested and the basic
configuration.  If it is something you posted earlier it is often useful
to post a link to the archive of your message so it is easy to refer to.

That being said, have you tried the 'rp-pppoe' package?  It is located in
the NetBSD packages system, normally /usr/pkgsrc/net/rp-pppoe if you have it
installed.  Otherwise you can get a binary package from ftp.netbsd.org.

The simplest method of getting it to work is to install the above package
and run 'adsl-setup' to configure it.
You will need to create at least one file in /etc to enable the ethernet
interface you plan on using.  I'll assume you have a nice Intel NIC, but
if you have something else just substitute the device name below.
In /etc/ifconfig.fxp0 at the word "up" only.
e.g.
	# echo up > /etc/ifconfig.fxp0

This assumes that fxp0 is the ADSL side.  Perhaps you have fxp1 or rtk0
or ne0, or xyz0.

You can manually bring up the interface:
	# ifconfig fxp0 up

Then you run the adsl-start command installed with rp-pppoe:
	# adsl-start

That should do it, provided you ran adsl-setup and provided all of the
required information.
