[Knoppix] Configuring xDSL connections

I'm using Knoppix 3.3 as a demonstration system at my school. I'm trying to convince our systems administrator to 'convert'. Knoppix boots fine with my own settings on a floppy, but I can't seem to configure a xDSL connection. When I start the 'ADSL/PPOE Configuration' Utility, it detects the onboard-ethernet device (eth0). It starts searching for a 'PPoE Acces Concentrator'. The program doesnt find one and then it exits.

I'm using a Copperjet 811 xDSL modem connected via a crosslink cable. I haven't tried the USB cable yet. I have no clue as to what the specifications of my onboard-ethernet are. My ISP is Quicknet. Am I doing something wrong?
