...(I plan on building a two NIC firewall box to take care of security.) I'm not sure if I need the pppoe or DHCP client.
Most likely it'll be DHCP. I helped Jon Pennington set up the SuSEfirewall package on a machine to do just what you're going to do, and we used DHCLIENT on eth0 which hooked to the DSL modem via a cat-5 crossover cable, and DHCPD on eth1 which then hooked to a hub via a straight cat-5 cable. Worked like a champ. :-) If in doubt, configure what will be your firewall first to be a command line workstation with DHCLIENT linked to eth0, and that hooked to the DSL modem via a cat-5 crossover cable. If you can connect up to the outside world, the rest is just configuration. Good luck! I hope it pans out the way you want.
