Depends on the hardware.  Check the manual or dslreports.com etc.

In this context, it's that the modem won't be doing NAT or PPPoE or  
anything else to the IP-level stuff going over it.  It just changes  
phone line signals into Ethernet signals, and that way you can do  
whatever you need to via a single configuration interface in your  
cheap router.
