[ale] [OT] make dsl modem visible?

[Jason Fritcher]

I set this up on my wrt54gs a while ago. With the stock firmware, I  
could not find a way to do this. I changed the router to DD-WRT, and I  
was able to put a 192.168.1.x address on the WAN port, add a route on  
the router so that 192.168.1.x bypassed the pppoe tunnel and was  
routed directly out the WAN port, and add a static router to the modem  
so that it could communicate back. My internal LAN is on the  
192.168.0.x subnet.

I don't have that modem any more, so I can't offer up my config as an  
example.
