I found the roaring penguin potato packages did not work nearly as well
as the tarballs (being a much older version).
I'd use the tarballs. Use /etc/init.d/skeleton as a template script for
your own /etc/init.d/adsl script. Under start) it would do one thing...
adsl-start, under stop, one thing adsl-stop
Actually I have a copy here. Try this (see attachment)
Then just make the necessary symlinks for activation on startup.
