A quick Google search for redhat, adsl, and pppoe came up with several hits,
some more useful than others (as usual).  Among the most useful (at least as
far as I browsed) was this one...

Configuring a Secure Linux® ADSL PPPoE Connection
http://www.skaht.com/linux/adsl/

It tends to focus particularly on the security aspects, but does give some
background on PPPoE setup, including some nice diagrams and some advice on
startup script setup.  It doesn't focus on Red Hat 7.2 specifically, so
there may actually be a simpler way of setting things up in a way that's
consistent with the Red Hat way of doing things.
