The login credentials are your email address and email password. Are
you suggesting that using dhcp to get an ip address from the westell
modem is illegal and cause for verizon to take some punitive action upon
you and 'break your connection'? PPPOE is only needed if the westell is
configured to not login/authenticate to the network. Otherwise, your
linux box just needs dhcp and the westell needs to be setup to
authenticate to the pppoe network by entering you credentials in its web
interface.
