The CPE is Customer Premise Equipment, it's the so-called "DSL modem" (rediculous terminology as DSL modems neither modulate nor demodulate) For example a Cisco 675 will do SNMP if you turn it on. >I forgot to mention that currently all traffic goes through one IP >address so I'm currently able to use mrtg to graph the usage through >net-snmp on localhost.

Another thing your overlooking, though, is why don't you just purchase a managed hub? Any hub with even a crappy SNMP agent in it will give you octet counts, and the better managed switches will give them to you per port.
