Ahh. That's what I was afraid you were saying. :/
Well. I've got the source for the CPE, and given all the recent work in arm@
I think it might be time to replace the OS on it, and put FreeBSD on it,
with _real_ IPv6. Or, if I can figure out how to wire tip, and ring
(a POTS line) to USB. Create my own CPE. :)

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Darren.
