I suppose. It was the only way I could get it to work. You can specify a 
subnet mask for a static route, whereas the PPPoA would not let me specify a 
subnet mask for the static IP address. This is with Qworst talking to FastQ 
as my ISP. It's a single static route, BTW. I'm not at home where the 
Actiontec lives (and of course turned off the remote management as soon as 
the ISP was finished with it!), so I can't give you more details, I do 
remember it was a royal PITA and neither Qworst nor FastQ had the foggiest 
idea how to deliver my subnet with the ActionTec (in fairness, I was the 
first customer with an ActionTec that FastQ had ever encountered).
