Have you thought about having your PPPoE connection start at boot? Just add an entry into your /etc/rc.local file - something like this would do:

# Start PPPoE on boot
/sbin/adsl-start

Alternatively, you can re-run the adsl-setup script and modify it that way.

Check to see where the "ADSL-START" or "ADSL-CONNECT" files are and make sure the directory they are in is in the non root users PATH in the users ".bash_profile" then change the files permissions so that the user can execute.
