I think things are going overboard here, Im just going to give up.

I have tried it with pppoe being down, still couldnt connect to the modem.

I was told on another msg board that if I did:

ifconfig ed0 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -host 10.0.0.1 -interface ed0
arp -s 10.0.0.1 00:0b:23:2a:b0:c4

would be the equivalent of the 3 linux commands, but alas, those 3
dont work either.

Again, thanks to all that have tried, again, its just line stats, so I
can live without them.
