the thread has kinda gone this way already, but i believe the only
way you can get true "i don't have NAT" on PPPoA, outside of
getting a
"business class" service plan (or anything else with static IP WAN
and LAN allocations) is going to have to end up with you running
PPP daemon/process on your machine. for it to leave your PC to
the modem as ATM would be a rare hardware combination.
"Half-bridge mode" or in the case of my Netgear DG632, "MODEM mode",
allows me to use PPPoA in such a way that the MODEM deals with the
PPPoA, my OpenBSD firewall sees packets destined to my external public
IP address and I can use an MTU of 1500. No NAT being used on the
MODEM. I am using NAT on my firewall though and I have a static IP.
I have not been able to get a Netcomm MODEM/Router with "half-bridge
mode" to be able to do this though.
