My brief glance at the manual for this product suggests that it's been
deliberately crippled to stop you doing what you want to do.  You still might
be able to get the result you want by running the modem as a bridge rather 
than using PPPoA, then running PPPoE from your Linux machine.

Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree?
