CentOS - Mar 2013 - /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xxx for CHAP PPPoE

Hi all

I get a Cisco 1841 router, connecting the office through a CHAP PPPoE link:
[...]
interface Dialer1
  ip address negotiated
  ip mtu 1492
  ip nat outside
  ip virtual-reassembly
  encapsulation ppp
  ip tcp adjust-mss 1452
  dialer pool 1
  dialer-group 1
  no cdp enable
  ppp authentication chap callin
  ppp chap hostname username at isp
  ppp chap password 0 s0meStr0ngP4sswd
[...]


As a fallback solution, I would like to setup a CentOS Dual NIC 1U unit.
I dont want to use NetworkManager, I'd rather use the bare interface 
configuration tools.
I'm running CentOS 6.3


I looked for the right way to configure the internface:
- http://goo.gl/UaNBe: officiel doc, found no indication.
- http://goo.gl/DQ5Gk: using rp-pppoe, is it the right way?
- http://goo.gl/PTaes: seem to be right, but which package is it from?

I am sure someone has something more current, I think my old box was 
running C5.3 or even earlier. I saved the control files off it and my 
ifcfg-ppp0 was:

USERCTL=no
BOOTPROTO=dialup
NAME=DSLppp0
DEVICE=ppp0
TYPE=xDSL
ONBOOT=yes
PIDFILE=/var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid
FIREWALL=NONE
PING=.
PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80
LCP_FAILURE=3
LCP_INTERVAL=20
CLAMPMSS=1412
CONNECT_POLL=6
CONNECT_TIMEOUT=60
DEFROUTE=yes
SYNCHRONOUS=no
ETH=eth0
PROVIDER=DSLppp0
USER='me at isp.net'
PEERDNS=no
DEMAND=no
PERSIST=no
IPV6INIT=yes
PPPD_EXTRA="ipv6 ,"

There was also a ppp directory that had files: options, pap-secrets, and 
chap-secrets

But like I said, old box.
