O.K. Extracted service name information from telco and inspected with
tcpdump:

09:26:32.996335 PPPoE-Discovery
        code Initiation, version 1, type 1, id 0x0000, length 20
        tag Host-Uniq, length 4 n¹ \226
        tag Service-Name, length 8 xxxxxxxx

So, the (only) packet is on the way and there is no answer.

Is there anything else I can do?

I've discussed the ADSL setup with telco and it is as follows:
Ethernet frame from my machine is inserted into ATM cells which travel
over DSL bitstream to DSLAM and then on via ATM to some machine at ISP
(they don't tell what it is) which unpacks ATM, maintains PPP
connections and routes IP. Telco equipment is all Siemens.
They do it by RFCs 2383 (ST2+ over ATM), 1483 (Multiprotocol
Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5) and 2364 (PPP Over AAL5).
Seems to me that they are not concerned with higher layer than
ethernet/PPP over ATM.

If you see here any potential trouble, please let me know.
