My Thomson Speedtouch (716v5WL) allows it to be set up as an ethernet bridge, effectively turning into a fancy modem. Eg, my setup is like this: 172.30.0.0/16 Public IP Peer IP LAN switch/AP ----------- FreeBSD Router------- DSL ST -------- Peer Effectively, the speedtouch just hands everything off to the bsd router, which in turn knows nothing about ADSL or PPP, and just uses the standard em(4) network driver. None of this stuff was configurable through the speedtouch's web interface, but is fairly straightforward once you read the 300 page manual, the 200 page CLI manual and dissect the configuration templates that tell the box how to operate.
