you'll need to add a new PPoE "dialler"

The PPPoE config should already be in the modem/router device, so by the
time the PC sees anything, it's plain old Ethernet. No need for PPPoE on
the PC.

Yeah, using a xDSL device as a modem or bridge device was/is pretty
rare, I shouldn't have believed the supplier's one-liner description.

Don't know about CenturyLink but when I had Verizon DSL they did not use
PPPoE but DHCP. You had to register the modem's MAC address to link your
connection to your account. Once registered is was a simple plug and
play. Same method for the cable company in this area.
