When the ISP is set up for PPP, you can always set your 675 (or whatever) to bridging. You'll just have to run PPoE on whatever machine is connected to it since the 675 is just passing on whatever comes down the line, rather than handling the PPoE itself. This actually has the advantage that if you have a netblock to yourself the 675 is no longer taking an IP, the IP it would be taking can be taken up by a full blown Linux/BSD firewall rather than bothering with the 675's rather limited ability.
