I love the way iiNet uses transparent ethernet bridging mode on their 
ethernet ADSL modems. When I got ours for work, it was a matter of plug 
in, edit iptables script (s/ppp0/eth1/),
# ifconfig eth1 <ip> netmask 255.255.255.252 up
# route add default gw <gw-ip> eth1

and we were running. Beat that, PPPoE

OTOH now I want a second IP (for IPSEC only traffic) and find out that 
we need to do some native ATM magic or cisco router buying for that. Oh 
well.
