I think you mean Winpoet. No?
A PPPoe client is basicaly a software used to connect a user to the internet with his/her username and password.
Inother words Log On.
There are different flavors of PPPOE clients. Such as:
Winpoet and RASPPPOE
I have used both in the past when I had DSL. (now cable)
I found that Winpoet was somewhat bloated and used alot of resourses.
RASPPPOE contained less bloatware and took much less resourses. It also responded faster.
Basically both do the same, 1 is just slimmer and more effecient than the other.
Having said that,
You mentioned that you are looking to crank up your speed.
Using a particular PPPOE client is not really the answer.
The answer lies in your RWIN and MTU settings really.
It also depends on what your DSL Line is capped at. (advertised speed).
Not everyones RWIN is the same, by that I mean you and your next door neighboor could have the same DSL Plan and your RWIN settings would most likely differ for optimal performance.
Tweaking your internet connection requires the knowledge of your advertised speed (can be gotten from your ISP).
Tweak and Speed test's.
And a little patience.
Just for the hell of it.(of course I dont know your operating system, but I'm assuming [hate doin that LOL] its XP.
Basic RWIN starting point for a PPPOE connection is 32000 then adjust from there.
Your MTU should be set at 1492.
Scaling and Time Stamping should be off.
Path MTU Discovery on.
Black Hole Detection,Selective Acs,Max Duplicate Acs and TTL to default.
Well I hope that helps some.
In xp you cannot go over 1480 mtu.
