PPPOE_USER='111111111111222222#[e-mail]'
Infos on user ID’s for other providers are found in the FAQ:

*_HUP_TIMEOUT Specify the time in seconds after which the connection will be terminated
when no more traffic is detected over the DSL line. A timeout of ’0’ or ’never’ stands
for no timeout. Using ’never’ the router immedeately reconnects after a disconnection.
Changing dialmodes is not possible then - it has to stay ’auto’. ’Never’ is currently only
available for PPPOE and FritzDSL.
*_CHARGEINT Charge-interval: Time interval in seconds which will be used for calculating
online costs.
Most provider calculate their charges per minute. In this case put in ’60’. For providers
that charge per second set *_CHARGEINT='1'.
Unfortunately for DSL the timing is not fully utilized, as it is the case for ISDN. In our
case a hangup will be triggered after the time specified in *_HUP_TIMEOUT.
Hence *_Chargeint is only significant for the calculation of charges.
*_TIMES This times determine when to enable the circuit and how much it will cost. This
makes it possible to have different default routes at different times for a circuit (Least
Cost Routing). The imond daemon controls route assignment then.
Composition of variables:
PPPOE_TIMES='times-1-info [times-2-info] ...'
Each field times-?-info consists of 4 parts divided by colons (’:’).
1. Field: W1-W2
Weekday-period, i.e. Mo-Fr or Sa-Su aso. English and german notations are both
valid. For a single weekday write W1-W1 (i.e. Su-Su).
2. Field: hh-hh
Hours, i.e. 09-18 or 18-09 too. 18-09 is equivalent to 18-24 plus 00-09. 00-24 means
the complete day.
3. Field: Charge
Currency-values as costs per minute, i.e. 0.032 for 3.2 Cent per minute. They are
used to calculate the actual costs incurred, taking into account the cycle time. They
will be displayed in the imon client.
4. Field: LC-Default-Route
Content can be Y or N, which means:
Y: The specified time range will be used as default route for LC-
routing.
N: The specified time range is only used for calculating costs but it
won’t be used for automatic LC-routing.
