My wife's church has a /29 from Teksavvy. Supposed to be 6 IPs but as
you note the router (a Debian box) is assigned a PPPoE address. So far
it has always been assigned the same IP addr for PPPoE so I can access
it remotely by the PPPoE addr or by its assigned /29 subnet address. So
even though (6 + PPPoE =) 7 IP addrs are assigned, only the 6 on the /29
are really useful (unless I really really screw up the routing and can't
get to it by its /29 addr!  :-) ).
