If you're going for Debian and you don't mind the electronic book
version which you can't read in the bath, then look at some partially
complete manuals at:
www.debian.org/doc/manuals/
There's one on System Admin and another on Networking.
Also you could do a:
apt-get install linuxcookbook
for all three versions of debian (Stable, Testing and the other one), to
download a nice manual.
If you're not yet at a stage where you can do a 'apt-get' yet then do a
search for 'linuxcookbook' as it's available in HTML form and also , I
think, in gzipped form.
Thinks:
Try http://dsl.org/cookbook.

If you look at :--
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html
Then it gives you guides to the two ways of setting up an Alcatel frog,
if thats what you have in mind.
THe two ways are :
a) Patch your kernel to deal with pppoa,
or
b) have a user space programme which converts the ppoa into bog standard
ppp which a vanila kernel can understand. (recommended).
