anyone know if it is possible to use dumb bridged-mode with these
modems (as is possible with ADSL modems) and run pppoe (or pppoa or
whatever) on your linux box?

or do you have to use whatever buggy, insecure firmware abomination
(with who-knows how many security holes and/or deliberate backdoors) is
in the modem to control your connection and firewall rules?
