[wplug] Verizon DSL and Coyote Linux

[Mike]

Our company demoed a Westell 6100.. The unit we had here did the PPPoE right
on the modem and passed off 192.168.X.X ip's..
 If you have the password to the unit you could try letting it do the PPPoE
and still pass the public IP to your linux router.. Theres a checkbox for
the IP passthru in one of the screens, I forget exactally how it's worded in
the menus..
