Default Point of Presence server emulation

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience in setting up a small ISP or at least a server allowing DSL based routers to dial in?


Basically what I would like to achieve is to create a Point of Presence server with the following services running on it:

Code:
DHCP
PPPoE Dial-in
Free or Open RADIUS or TACACS+
IPCP
I have already had a look at these links:

http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/mi.../msg00424.html

http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/mi.../msg00435.html


which give some indication on how to create a PPP dial in server. However, since I've never done this before I'd like to know if instead of using the Serial RS232c interface I would be able to use the Ethernet interface in order to create a PPPoE setup?


I plan on getting a Zyxel IES-1000 DSLAM:

Then hooking this up to one of the NICs on the server I plan to use then allowing my Cisco routers to "dial-in" using the traditional DSL PPPoE method as there will be no ATM cloud in the chain to use PPPoA.


Authentication wise I will be using CHAP of which in order to use I will need a RADIUS or TACACS+ server.


Has anyone ever done anything like this or can anyone give me any advice with anything that I've listed?


Many thanks for any response!
