Changing from ADSL Modem to Router

I connect now through pptp. The computer sends the login and a cron job attempts to keep the connection. Various files in /etc/ppp/peers have login info and some options. How do I change to a router (the router logs in and tries to keep the connection)? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-use
