The interface type is PPP so you need the package "ppp" providing pppd.

The DSL provider probably uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE). You can check 
on your router. pppd can handle PPPoE direclty through a plugin and a 
kernel module or in userland though the package "pppoe" (more overhead 
and more options). The extra package "pppoeconf" eases the creation of a 
PPPoE configuration file in /etc/ppp/peers. Once created, the connection 
can be started and stopped manually with "pon" and "poff".

Some DSL providers may use the PPTP protocol instead. Then you need the 
package "pptp-linux".

You should not need to issue any commands. Just make sure the PPP config 
file has the options "defaultroute" to set the default route through the 
PPP connection and "replacedefaultroute" to override the existing 
default route.
