Perhaps I should mention that my discussion in this thread has been 
coloured by my experiences in working with Bell/Sympatico ADSL at 
customer sites.  My experience with them has mostly been to connect 
industrial grade routers to ADSL.  Bell likes to supply a modem that 
will not work easily with those routers as they're configured to make 
things "easy" for customers who might not know how to configure for 
PPPoE.  I have, on occasion, had a real struggle to get them to supply 
the appropriate equipment, which is a basic ADSL modem that relied on 
the attached device (computer, router etc.) to log onto the ADSL 
service, instead of the modem doing it.  A modem like that would work 
fine with the WRT modem as described.
