Configuring their modem as a bridge will bring the public IP to the soekris box which makes port forwarding way easier, pushing most work (nat, routing) to a solid soekris box running a stable OS and less work to the cheap and perhaps not so stable modem you're using. Plus you can reuse a Soekris CF imagem across different ways of obtaining an IP from the ISP (static, DHCP or PPPoE). You can do more interesting stuff as well: http://blog.angulosolido.pt/2008/03/intelligent-linux-gateway- multihoming_04.html (I can't remmember if I shared this on this mailing list before, I apologize if it is a dup).
