thanks for your question. But the how-to you have posted, it reports very well haw you can configure you pppoa connection using the right files of Ubuntu. What do you do to enable the connection with your ISP. Thanks

The ISP dose not offer pppoa connection. My problem remains with pppoe.

Sorry for my delay. I understnad your problem, but there is not connection from the module which manager your modem and the ppoeconf which is the procedure to use for setting the modem like yours. Probably we can found a gui solution (but I don't know any) to simplify the configuration, but the pppoeconf is the tool used in linux to connect it on the ethernet protocol.
Thanks many

I tried starting my connection at start-up by adding this script in init.d
br2684ctl -b -c 0 -e 0 -a 0.35
ifconfig nas0 up
pppd call zxdsl
but it needs sudo acces. How can I make the script to start with superuser acces?

Ok, it's a right way. I didn't think about this way. Good idea.
You can put your script in rc.local to be able to run it with root access at startup.
Thanks

For any other user having this problem :
Add these three lines to your /etc/rc.local file, bofore the exit line :
br2684ctl -b -c 0 -e 0 -a 0.35
ifconfig nas0 up
pppd call zxdsl
This launches the connetcion at boot time.
