[wplug] fios & IPCOP

[Nathan Marcus]

I have never used IPCOP before, but it does look quite good and will
check it out.

I think I may know what an issue may be though.  I was setting up
putting a VoIP box in front of the router they supplied me and had
trouble getting it to "connect" so to speak.  So I noticed the VoIP
ATA came with Mac cloning and I figured, eh, might as well clone the
router MAC and see what happens... and that connected it.  So MAC
cloning of the router you get might be what you need?
