You can use any ADSL router you like, as long as it has PPPoE client
functionality. The router will terminate the bridged ethernet link
to eircom and then bring up a PPPoE session.

(The Alcatel SpeedTouch Pro does not have a built-in PPPoE client,
 so while it is sold in other countries as an ADSL router, eircom
 will only sell and support it for use in bridged mode.)
