That configures the "modem" as a router. The public IP address is
acquired by the modem. (I would rather call this thingie a "device"
which can be used both as a modem and a router).
While I use this set up, I hate this to the extreme. My net security is
trusted to the unknown OS on the unknown device.
The OP wants to configure the device as "modem" proper. That way, the
public IP address is acquired by the machine running pppoe.
