Almost any modem can work in bridge mode and you can use another router to establish the PPPoE connection and do the routing. Even with the Bell modem/router combos (including the 2wire 2701 which they uses these days), you can factory reset it and don't configure anything, then connect another router's WAN port to one of the LAN ports and set up the WAN to use PPPoE, that router will become the main router, will get a routable IP address from the ISP and you can set up DMZ and port forwards on it.
