Hi Tage,
Thanks for the link. That's correct, I managed to get close enough to the right place in the Netopia configuration panel, then I was able to get help from Sonic support. The Control panel is at 192.168.1.254
So, good news as this modem is great. The wireless connection is rock solid, at least for my location. If anyone is considering buying one, the -006 version is pre-configured for BellSouth and at first it will seem impossible to change that, but all references to BellSouth are now gone from my setup panel. I also updated the firmware by installing the generic firmware that I got from the Motorola web page for the non 006 version. Here is a brief summary of what I used (Instructions are from Sonic.net support):
DHCP must be on (Direct IP)
PPP must be off
LLC/SNAP
Encapsulation RFC-1483 Bridged Ethernet
VPI=0
VCI=35
I left NAT on, but have no idea if it needs to be on.
