-Finally there
is the prospect
of a better
solution:
+A better alternative solution
is to use PPtP passthrough
of a PPPoA connection. This means the router establishes the connection via PPtP using the modem. This means the router receives the public IP, has no MTU problems and is the one responsibile for establishing the PPP connection to your ISP. This is supported by a few modems available in New Zealand specificially:
+
+- Nokia M1122 (ADSL1 only)
+- Most Thomson (formerly Alcatel0 Speedtouch ADSL1 and ADSL2+ modems including 536v6 commonly supplied by Xtra. This feature is not always available from the webgui but can usually easily be set up via the CLI (http://www.speedtouch.net.nz/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1239)
+
+My experience with m0n0wall (yes not Linux) is that both of these with PPtP passthrough work well
+
+
+There is also another good alternative
solution:
- Draytek Vigor 110, (not available in NZ).
- Draytek Vigor DV120 (http://nicegear.co.nz/draytek/)
- Draytek Vigor DV2700e (http://www.delphinus.co.nz/draytek-vigor-dv2700e/) Has a PPPoE to PPPoA bridging device.
The former is not currently available in NZ, although the latter is but is a modem/router. Their website states that these products contain a true pppoe to pppoa bridge, and customer feedback confirms this to be so. The Draytek 120 is expected to be available here in November 2008.
