Yeah, that's the only way. I use an SMC Barricade with my DSL
connection to create a LAN in my apartment. The Barricade handles all
the PPPoE stuff in hardware so my desktop machines (both Macs and
Windows machines) and Newtons don't have to deal with it. Even if there
were a PPPoE client for Newton, I would prefer to let the router handle
it.
I highly recommend the SMC Barricade if you're interested in sharing a
DSL connection with multiple computers using Ethernet and/or Wifi. It's
cheap, easy to configure, and in my experience works flawlessly.
