I've found pass through tends not to work very well, if you don't mind
the overhead it might be worth getting a device that just gives
you PPPoE on an attached ethernet and running a PPPoE client on a 
proper machine.  That way you don't have to trust IP stack in cheap
router, which all tend to be crap in my experience.

The Cisco 1600s sadly won't take ADSL wic1adsl interfaces :( or atleast
there is no IOS that supports them.


Cisco 827/837s but they are several 100 quid.
