You only need PPTP if you want to set up VPNs to (usually) Microsoft
VPN 
gateways.

Also which is better to use, Ethernet or ATMF 25 ?

Do you have an ATM card in your PC or ethernet?  Probably not.  At the
end 
of the day it doesn't matter as your DSL bandwidth will be a lot lower

than even 10Mbps ethernet.  So long as the router supports G.DMT 
signalling and PPPoA with a VPI of 0 and VCI of 38 then you should be
in 
business :)  If you've got a routed block (e.g. a /29) then your ISP's
RADIUS
server should download routes to your router at logon.  Most routers
can be
configured to route this block through to the local network, and
virtually all
of them can do NAT (optionally with port forwarding).

Hope this helps.

Jon.
