Well, the new units they're distributing seem to have a small Linux box
built in (it has busybox, anyone want to pressure them for the source
code?), that serves up IP addresses via a DHCP server, so it's plug and
go, once you enter your user/pass at the web admin. If you want to make
it a dumb modem (configuration switch), then any OS that supports PPPoE
will work just fine.
