The qurey i have relates to the modem not having pptp (or thats what it says) does it need this ?
You only need PPTP if you want to set up VPNs to (usually) Microsoft VPN gateways.
Also which is better to use, Ethernet or ATMF 25 ?
Do you have an ATM card in your PC or ethernet? Probably not. At the end of the day it doesn't matter as your DSL bandwidth will be a lot lower than even 10Mbps ethernet. So long as the router supports G.DMT signalling and PPPoA with a VPI of 0 and VCI of 38 then you should be in business :) If you've got a routed block (e.g. a /29) then your ISP's RADIUS server should download routes to your router at logon. Most routers can be configured to route this block through to the local network, and virtually all of them can do NAT (optionally with port forwarding). Hope this helps.
