The 5GT-ADSL will do PPPoA and PPPoE. The others will only do PPPoE.
I'm not aware of any differences between functionality that would make
a difference in your description. Most of the time I would encourage
people to use the ADSL model and just hold on to the other POS that
they provide for troubleshooting. Qwest likes to NAT behind their POS
Actiontec, and I have only ONCE got it to actually route, but that was
freakin' painful and I hated every second of it. If you're not being
NAT'd good for you. But for those who are and if you dump your DSL on
to the box then you route / NAT / transparent mode that mophucka any
way you want.

Use DHCP reservations and then setup your policies.

DI is a lighter version of Intrusion Detection. It also is NOT
protocol agnostic on the firewall. They want to sell more IDP.
And yes, naturally web filtering and content management or not protocol
anomoly detection / malicious packets as DI is.
