???  DHCP is dynamic host configuration protocol, simply used to 
retrieve stuff like a dynamic ip and dns records.  PPPoe is point to 
point protocol over ethernet.  You're comparing apples to broccoli.

You can have PPPoe from speedfactory and take advantage of DHCP or you 
can deal with all that stuff yourself.   One works with the other, not 
similar tools.
