You could try
man pptpd
and see what pops up.

i just got dsl.
under windows, there's an hour-long installation
process during which you get about four layered
network drivers installed into your system.
and every time i log on i have to hear james
earl jones welcome me to verizon.
under plan 9, you do ip/pppoe -s user:pass
and you're done.
it took me just as long to install the windows
software as it did to write the plan 9 software.

That's not inherent in DSL with Windows, that's the
DSL modem initialization, customized IE, etc. provided
by your DSL supplier. All one has to do to get DSL
working with Windows once the modem has undergone the
one-time configuration (which in principle could be
done before it was even shipped to you) is the same
as with a normal Ethernet LAN connection, namely
nothing. DHCP configures the (Ethernet) connection.
At least that's how mine works. Ditto for my cable
modem connection via Ethernet. Plug and play.
