Hi
Am i right in thinking that it's usually with BT to have


| wall socket |--[VDSL/Phone cable]--| BT modem |---[ethernet cable]---| BT Hub|---[ethernet cable]---| Computers pluging into hub |

and the BT hub handles the PPPoE log in's

I have not seen any gui on the Shield that allows this but there could be available in the command line, have seen this on openwrt web site

 The network is configured using the UCI file /etc/config/network. This file may be edited manually or using the uci command line.

See the following sections that pertain to your particular connection requirements:

    DSL → PPP or PPPoE or PPPoA.
        via built-in modem. Here there is an example of a dummy pppoe over atm(most common) configuration, the values that you have to use vary depending on your ISP:

        # Configure pppoe connection
        uci set network.wan.proto=pppoe
        uci set network.wan.username='yougotthisfromyour@isp.su'
        uci set network.wan.password='yourpassword'
        # Configure atm bridge
        uci set network.atm.encaps='llc'
        uci set network.atm.payload='bridged'
        uci set network.atm.vpi='8'
        uci set network.atm.vci='32'
        # Configure adsl settings
        uci set network.adsl.fwannex='a'
        uci set network.adsl.annex='a2p'
        # Save changes
        uci commit network
        # Restart network service to reflect changes
        /etc/init.d/network restart
        # Bring up the atm bridge and start it automatically on boot
        /etc/init.d/br2684ctl start
        /etc/init.d/br2684ctl enable

        via a modem connected over an Ethernet cable: you could access.modem.through.nat (imo uncommon to need to do this), or just log on through it with PPPoE after setting it up:

        uci set network.wan.proto=pppoe
        uci set network.wan.username='yougotthisfromyour@isp.su'
        uci set network.wan.password='yourpassword'
        uci commit network
        ifup wan

not sure if this helps
