I am curious about how my ParaDyne ReachDSL works.  For instance, is
my gateway address supplied by my isp the actual ip address of this
dsl modem/device?

Is there a port to get information from this ParaDyne device?  It is
an external dsl modem device, but I'm told it's not really modem.
does it have an ip?
