In the config I am working with I have a UHP DSL Modem (Earthlink

Repeatedly (and often) the modem enters this 'diagnostic' phase where
is blocks internet access and displays Earthlink's "Fix and/or Retry"
page.

- The modem is currently in DHCP/NAT/PPPoE Mode, I'd like to disable
this and have the Router do the PPPoE dialing.

- The modem is supplying DHCP to the Router. Seems it would be better
to hard code some static IPs in there between the Modem and the
Router, right?

I don't think you can do that.  The IP addresses supplied by Earthlink
arrive via PPPoE (not DHCP).

Well, I _am_ running the PPPoE via the router now. I just let the IP
numbers etween the router and modem take care of themselves.

 You have to have a PPPoE client running
somewhere.

Yeah. Thx Jeff, so far with the modem in 'I'm only a modem' mode all
seem well, no swapping to report as of yet.
