Wow, I stand corrected - obviously there are other modems out there that can do it.
BTW - you the HOW-TO mentions problems obtaining a second DHCP lease from the modem (even for the same MAC address) - I'm wondering if setting the linux box to use a static IP (assuming your DSL IP is static) would get around that problem...
On my linux box at home I have it using DHCP to get the IP from the modem, (from what my syslog says, it renews the lease every 52 seconds or so!), and I have had to reboot the linux box a few (4 or 5) times now and haven't had to reboot the modem yet. I've had over 3 weeks of usage like this now. The problem specified on the wlug page may have been a result of a slightly older firmware, or perhaps a different DHCP configuration on his linux box. Like it says on the page though... YMMV.
