If you are working with someone other than SWBell, and you get regular TCP/IP connectivity, you 
should be able to just unplug one modem and plug in to the other.

SWBell, and some other DSL providers, use PPPoE instead of Ethernet, and I don't know of any 
embedded routers that can handle that.  I've built one Linux box to do firewall/routing over it, 
but many protocols, particularly SSH and most VPN won't work.

Why do you want to switch forom cable?
