All ADSL/VDSL providers here (The Netherlands) provide modems with integrated router. Not only that, but they put in their own firmware, so that you can do next to nothing with it. With my old ADSL line, I modded a speedtouch 546 to do DHCP spoofing, so that it gives out its WAN IP, but that modem has no VDSL2 support, so it is no longer usable.

So, I'm looking for a VDSL2 modem that has no NAT, or has an option to turn it off, to simply serve the WAN IP to my Linux machine.

Any advice is welcome.

Would the Thomson 789 have such support?

The 'BT Openreach' VDSL2 modem that British Telecom supplied for my BT Infinity FTTC VDSL2 service is a rebranded Huawei HG612, if that's any help.

It has two LAN ports, one of which has a sticker over it, saying 'not in use'. I am not aware of any web interface that it may have. I use it along with a Netgear WNR3500L router running Tomato.
