Eric,

Update to information from Todd

Yes we are "one of us poor bastards in the East that Verizon doesn't have a properly
configured network for and are getting the RFC1483 bridged Encaps through the
Redbacks". We setup a user with a Broadmax HSA300A Modem/Bridge/Rputer. Got
it to work fine in Bridged RFC 1483 mode no problem, also got it to work in Bridged
llcbridged RFC1483 mode using its internal NAT router. The problem is that we are
attempting to get it working as a router in Routed llcbridged RFC1483, witch
according to the manual will work (I just got a call from the manufacture tech rep and
he told me that in router mode it will only work as a NAT router :( but it will not work
with NAT disabled, to bad)

I have 3 other routers to try
ZyXEL Prestige 645 ADSL Router
DSLW-ECA100 Ethernet Route
Aztech ADSL Ethernet and USB Combo Router DSL906EU

The setup we used to attempt routing is:

On the Cisco I setup a bridge to the PVC
ip route 66.250.201.41 255.255.255.255 ATM1/1/0.320

and router a /29 to it
ip route 66.250.202.0 255.255.255.248 66.250.201.41

On the 300A
lan: 66.250.202.1
mask: 255.255.255.248
wan: 66.250.201.41
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 66.250.201.1

giving the end user 66.250.202.2 - 6 to use
