SBC is using PPPoE and to setup that username and password just run /sbin/adsl-setup then it will configure your ppp1 device. It will ask you the username and pw plus a few other things. Please note that when it reaches the DNS section make sure to type server and defualt settings for the rest are fine. After thats complete /sbin/adsl-start will start ppp0 and /sbin/adsl-status will show you your ppp0 is up and running or down.
