[SLUG] bigpond cable modem and any old DHCP client?

[Jamie Wilkinson <jaq@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello list!

Does anyone have experience with BigPond cable?

Specifically, is it possible to use the SB-5101 modem and plug in a
DHCP-client wireless router on the ethernet side, or does BigPond still
require a custom login tool running on the client?

The whirlpool forums are fuzzy at best, and I'd like to know if anyone can
give a definitive "yes that will work" versus "no, that won't."

Why?  It might be cheaper to use an existing wireless router, or easier to
maintain a linux PC as a router, than purchase the all-in-one SBG-900 cable
modem + wireless router with a new plan.

Thanks!
