I do have a fixed IP address. I have tried using their modem

modem.
The only thing this fine piece of equipment has been able to do
reliably is maintain the virtual circuit to the ISP. Anything
at a higher level in the protocol stack is too flakey. Hence,
I just want it to act as the most stupid of pipes between me
and the ISP.
Yes, this is a familiar situation:) Most of the time these NAT
devices are configured for non-interactive protocols doing bulk
transfers , so ssh having long periods of inactivity suffers...
And even these is flakey, as you said.
Other people successfully use this modem to connect to their ISP
when the ISP accepts pppoe connections and the modem is configured
as a bridge. Unfortunately, my ISP doesn't support pppoe, only
pppoa.
The only way to do PPPoA is to have a device that does the DSL and
ATM layers and handles the rest to FreeBSD.
