If you were looking for a device to act only as a PPPoA to PPPoE bridge, without any routing or firewall functionality, you shouldn't have any problems. I have a linux-based wi-fi router behind it and it acts great at the max 8,218 kbps from my provider ... in fact, you shouldn't even need to go into the web interface - it should come configured to work with UK ISPs out of the box, so just cable it up and any PPPoE capable device should have no trouble with it.

Peter,
The firewalling and NAT is done on the linux server. I haven't done PPP since the distant days of dial-up, though, so good to hear it is easy to configure.
Thanks,
Jenny
