Its worth noting that ADSL+router just bridges the ethernet. Hence why its more an ADSL router than an ADSL modem.. infact, wouldnt the Digital in ADSL rule out being a modulate demodulate? slug-chat anyone? You can run static IP's or dhcp or whatever hits the spot for you. telstra has just opted for pppoe. which imo isnt a bad decision and they have implemented it nicely. ok sure the network sucks but you can connect with any pppoe client, no windows funny business etc. wow something not bad about telstra.
