That's bloated flash-looking setup software that comes on the
Verizon.net CD isn't doing anything magical.  I think it's probably just
just RARP/TFTP booting the Westel 2100/2200, finding a local RFC1918
space that's free, enabling DHCP + NAT/PAT and configuring the PVCs for
PPPoE mode instead of Bridged (which is not what you want).

A simple tcpdump(8) would reveal a great lot.  I'm sure someone's got a
web page already setup on how to do it.
