Actually I asked what I thought was a silly question because I had 
naively thought that the WRT54G was also an adsl modem.  Having read the 
specs it appears just to be a wireless accesspoint with some firewall 
ability.

So I guess I'm curious how BT's choice of PPoA would affect things?  For 
sure their MTU is 1492 instead of 1500 (although I read they wanted to 
change that...).  But I would have expected pretty much everything else 
to be transparent apart from the abilities of accurately guaging speed 
with tc rules..?

Thanks for any insight
