[The Firewall doesn't > connect to my ISP] I don't think the SpeedTouch modems support bridging from PPPoA to Ethernet to the best of my knowledge -- I only know of one very specific model of D-Link ADSL modem which will do this (DSL-500G+ I think). You'll probably have more luck using a native ATM card hooked up to the ATM-25 passthrough port on the SpeedTouch and using userland PPP to get PPPoA encapsulation through to the BSD box. We don't support PPPoA in Netgraph [yet], I have a paper design for such a thing I haven't had any free time to implement. BMS
