The Draytek box in this case was a VDSL modem, not a router. It makes the VDSL lines in the UK FTTC rollout accessible to AirPort as generic Ethernet, over which you normally run PPPoE in the usual manner. However, Draytek do in fact make routers, both of the wired and VDSL variety, with many of them supporting both simultaneously as well as USB cell modems for backup. The Draytek modem is a lifesaver because it makes it possible to delegate what would otherwise require a (V)DSL card or dongle to an Ethernet port, thus instantly making your choice of router much larger; you no longer need to combine the router with the VDSL modem, as was previously the case. The model is Draytek V130 if you are interested further.
