I ordered an IDSL line for my house and the ISP tells me that I will receive a Copper Mountain bridge (router not available for residential service). Does anybody know what possible bad things could happen if I quietly remove the bridge and replace it with, say, a Cisco 804? I sure would like to use the 804, but since one of the interfaces is IDSL, I can't leave the bridge inline and there are no "low" cost (~$400) options for dual Ethernet interface Cisco routers.
If this is a bad idea, please tell me your thoughts via direct email. I know very little about xDSL, so any help is appreciated!
