I just came back to Kolkata and am using DataOne broadband connection at home. I use a MacBook Pro and it took me a really long to figure out a way to connect to the internet. BSNL broadband in Calcutta uses PPPoE to connect. I didn't find any information anywhere. After a bit of trial and error I figured the solution.
Connecting directly:
In the network preferences just use a simple PPPoE connection type either with Airport or ethernet.
Connection with TimeCapsule of Airport Extreme:
This is the best part. TimeCapsule has a in-built functionality to connect using PPPoE. Just provide ur credentials and TC connects seamlessly without needing you to reconnect every time the connections drops off.
The BSNL connection keeps dropping and the TC solution makes my life really easy.
