Currently using a zoom x4 modem in half bridge mode with 3.6 stable and
haven't had any problems with dhclient obtaining a lease from the modem
so maybe it's a 3.7 thing?.
I'm just about to move to 3.7 current so this is worthwhile knowing.
Many thanks.

Just for interest, I've set this up successfully using a Zoom X4 (about #45)
using half bridge but originally ran into problems getting the OBSD box to
collect the address via DHCP on the external interface when in this mode (no
such
problems without half-bridge).
Eventually, narrowed it dow

Another solution is to buy an ethernet modem that supports 'Half Bridge
Mode'. I have two such units, an ADSL Nation X-Modem and a Zoom X4.
When operating in half bridge the modem does all the PPPoA negotiation
with the DSL provider to login and obtain and IP address. Once done it
acts as a DH

Hi,
I have a PPPoA ADSL connection and would like to use FreeBSD or OpenBSD
as a gateway/server and am looking for compatible hardware that would
facilitate this. I'm specifically looking to avoid combination modem
