Can a Speedtouch modem perform PPPoE authentication?

It depends. The majority of Alcatel Speedtouch modems do NOT have the PPPoE protocol or stack built in to them, therefore they cannot authenticate to a PPPoE based service without PPPoE software being installed on the client computer. (also known as bridge mode) However, if your Speed Touch Pro (with firewall) modem has firmware version 3.430 or later, PPPoE authentication by the modem is possible.
